Another quiet flight

Savoia Marchetti S.79 "Sparviero", Aircraft Number 2, of 192nd Squadriglia, 87th, Gruppo, 30th Stormo, based at Sciacca, Sicily, photographed from another S.79, during a flight perhaps for a training sortie in Summer 1940. In this aircraft, liked many other S.79s, the front machine gun was removed. In the photo is clearly visible under the fuselage the nacelle for gunner's and the bombardier's stations, nacelle removed over the S.79 torpedo bomber. Victor Sierra
