MY COLLECTION OF ITALIAN AEROPLANE IMAGES

MY COLLECTION OF OLD ITALIAN AEROPLANE IMAGES

Last Updated: April 22, 2007


Note: I can provide full resolution copies of these images free of charge for use in books and magazines. Use my address at the bottom of the page to contact me in this case. All pictures are my copyright.
There are two main sources for these images: those of the Elmas base were given me by a friend of my parents who got them... I don't know where or how. Other images were given me by a distant relative who was a fighter pilot during WW2 (until he was banned from flying after he took his fiancée on his fighter...)
