Ali d'Italia 5

The Z.506 was a large 3-engine floatplane originally designed for commercial use, and the "Airone" (Heron) as it was christened would became one of the premier maritime aircraft of WWII. Setting many speed, altitude and distance records prior to the war, the Airone was first used as a level/torpedo bomber and then used for recon and escort duties. It was also produced in an air/sea rescue configuration being flown in this manner by both the Italians and Germans. An attractive floatplane able to land in Force 4 winds and take-off in Force 5 winds.
This high-quality series of monographs is exclusively devoted to Italian WW2 aircraft. The series is edited by Giorgio Apostolo, the best known and most respected Italian Aviation Historian and the author of several authoritative texts. The volumes contain text in both English and Italian and contain the history of each aircraft and a technical description of the planes. Each book is lavishly illustrated with drawings from original instruction manuals and never before seen photos.
