🇮🇹The S.M. 79 was a three-engine medium aircraft developed by Savoia-Marchetti, also known as the Società Idrovolanti Alta Italia (SIAI). Initially developed as a fast passenger transport aircraft, it was later adapted for use as a racing aircraft, and later as a medium bomber. From 1936 until 1939 it broke several records, both in the civil and military spheres with the Regia Aeronautica, also becoming the fastest medium bomber in the world at the time. https://plane-encyclopedia.com/ww2/savoia-marchetti-s-m-79c-t/ #italy #wwii #racing #aviationhistory
