SP3 4531 Star.

(S!) ALL hi ;-)

This is a SP3 4531 Star, Italian Air Service Caporetto around 1917/18.

As you can see from the photo with this skin documents it was destroyed

When the axes powers overran the drome it was part of during the dark days

Of Caporetto, SP3 pilots loved their SP3s so much that even when new machines

Arrived at the frontline the SP3s where not given up by their cures and where in

Service right up to 1920, the first fight that an SP3 had was with two Albatros D3

Where the SP3 downed both machines, it was not till a month later from its arrival

At the frontline that the first SP3 fell to the guns of an Albatros D3, SP3 pilots reported

That their SP3s where good dog-fighters and bombing platforms, this plane was also the

First that the Italian Air Service had their first great bombing campaign with.

If you would like to know more about the SP3, look for Windsock vol 19, #3, May/ June 2003, Part two by Alberto Casirati.

To the best of my knowing this is the first time that an SP3 has ever been in a flying sim.

Special thank you to Laton for giving me the opportunity to work

With him again on this plane and for bringing the SP3 to this sim.
