An Italian bomber Fiat BR.20M flying over a mountain range, perhaps in the Balkans, during winter time and in the presence of scattered clouds. The cloud’s shape suggest a weather situation characterized by a cold front and by a strong tail wind with, in this last case, a consequential increase of the ground speed. Victor Sierra

Scattered clouds

View inside of the front gunner’s compartment of the M (M for Modified) of Italian twin engine bomber Fiat BR.20 (BR.20M) with the 7,7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun in turret Fiat H for the defense of forward sector. The BR.20M was also defended by other two Breda-SAFAT machine guns: one 12,7 mm in semi-retractable dorsal turret Fiat MI for defense of upper and rear sectors and one 7,7 mm in retractable turret for defense of lower sector.

The defense of an Italian bomber

Undoubtedly this flight of a bomber Savoia-Marchetti S.79 of 258th Squadriglia, 109th Gruppo Bombardamento Terrestre (Land Bombardment) based at Castelvetrano, Trapani, Sicily, 1941, is a not a war’s flight. Indeed nobody is in the station of dorsal machine gun as a crewmember lean out peacefully of the station of fuselage reserved in combat to lateral machine gun. Victor Sierra
