Bell P-39Q Airacobra, 4^ Stormo Caccia, ICAF
 
Skin resolution: 1024x1024
 
Unmarked included
 
 
Generic skins for P-39Q in service with Regia Aeronautica/Italian Co-Belligerant Air Force
between June 1944 and May 1945.
 
-----------Notes--------------------------------------
 
In June 1944 the Regia Aeronautica/ICAF received 149/170 P-39s from the storages of 15th Air Force.
The majority of them where P-39Q (mainly from blocks -15 and -20), with few P-39N (used for training),
and a single P-39M (the s/n 42-4741, P-39M-1-BE).
 
During three months of training, 11 accidents occurred and three pilots died.
One of them was Sergente Maggiore Teresio Martinoli, top-scoring ace of R.A. with 22 victories (he died on 25 August 1944).
 
The 4th Stormo Caccia was entirely re-equipped with the Airacobras and, from September '44 until April '45, was involved
in a very intensive tour of duty over North-Western Greece, Albania and Yugoslavia.
 
Under the colors of the newborn Aeronautica Militare, the Airacobra flew for the last time during 1951.

Lockheed P-38L Lightning - Italian Air Force - 3^ Stormo Caccia (1948-1954)
Forgotten Lightnings Part 1
---skin for P-38L by Wolf257---
size: 2048x2048 (main .bmp, others in 512x512 and 256x256)
 
 
-------------------Historical notes-----------
In the 1946, 100 Lightnings, parked in open storage at Napoli-Capodichino airfield, were assigned
to newborn Aeronautica Militare Italiana. The IMM (Industrie Meccaniche Meridionali, later Aerfer)
overhauled a total of 93 planes (including 20 recon F-5.) The first unit to receive the Lightings was the 4^ Stormo Caccia (June 1946-April 1948). In 1948 the 4^ Stormo was rearmed with the P-51D, and the P-38s were assigned
to 3^ Stormo Caccia (1948-1954). From September 1948 to July 1952, four F-5s were assigned to Nucleo Sperimentale Volo at Roma-Guidonia (later "Reparto Sperimentale Volo"), and used in 34 "ferret" flights over Yugoslavia and Albania. The Lightning was finally retired from servince in July 1956.
 
Others units equipped with the P-38L:
Reparto Volo 4a ZAT (Zona Aerea Territoriale)
SCOT, Scuola Caccia Ognitempo (All-weather Fighter School)
Sezione Aerofotografica, 56th TAF (Tactical Air Force)
 
65 P-38L (L-5 and L-10 version, one in Droop Snoot configuration?)
2 P-38J (not confirmed)
20 F-5E-4, F, G recon Lightnings. (including a single F-5B?)
6 P-38DC double-seater advanced trainers, modified under FIAT design. (DC= Doppi Comandi. First flight: April 29, 1948)
 
30 planes were lost in service due to engines failures, undercarriage crashes and pilots mistakes.
 
Note about skin: light decals distortions under the nacelles.
No solution at this time, sorry...
 
-------------------Installation:----------------------
Unzip the skin in a temporany folder.
Drop the "3^Stormo" folder in your P-38L installation
 
Please see the readme for others details and stuffs.
