Benito Mussolini at his desk, 1920s.  From the look on his face, it looks as though he may be having (and losing) an argument with his furry colleague as to who is the REAL Duce ... Best regards, JR.

Uno Duce, Una Voce ?

A detail of the most interesting feature of the Piaggio P.108: the twin-barrel remote controlled Breda Z2 turrets installed upper the external engine cowlings, each armed with a pair of 12.7mm (0.50) Breda-SAFAT machine guns (0.50). This feature was adopted only by another strategic bomber of the WW2, the American Boeing B-29. Excluding the only 12.7mm in the nose turret , not adopted by the series aircraft (P-108B), and a part the weapons of the remote controlled turret, the Piaggio four-engines airplanes had a 12.7mm machine gun in a belly turret and two 7.7mm waist machine guns (one right-hand, the other left-hand).
