Montenegro’s partisans unloading supplies carried by an Italian transport aircraft landed on a Balkan airstrip. The plane is a Savoia-Marchetti S.82 likely of Italian co-belligerent Air Force’s 2nd Stormo Trasporto Notturno (Night Transport) based at Lecce, Apulia, and committed to transport of supplies to Italian troops and to partisan fighting in the Balkans against the German. Note the waist machine gun for self-defense. Victor Sierra
