Hello Mr. Di Terlizzi,
Welcome to the best Italian Aircraft site on the web!
I am a great fan of yours and have all of your books.
I especially like the one you did on the Re 2005 and the excellent story of the Italian Ace Vittorio Minguzzi.
Looking forward to your models and articles.
Saluti,
Vincent.
PS: Is Minguzzi still alive?

Hello Vincent, thanks a lot for your kind comments about my books, you're really kind. General Minguzzi is not alive, he died several years ago, before I had the opportunity to contact his family. They gave me pictures and a lot of information. Unfortunately time is passing and many many italian pilots are passing away, I was so lucky to stay in touch with Graziani, Tarantola, Annoni, Moci, Laiolo and Gorrini (still alive)
They were kind and gentle people, who agreed to talk about their finest years remebering perfectly every details.
Remembering them I like to say as latins said "Ad Maiora !" (to reach for better things)

Ciao Maurizio,
Thanks for the information.
Do you think that some day you might want to write a book about the SM79 Aerosiluranti pilots, like Busacaglia, Cimicchi and Faggioni?
Nothing has really been written about these gallant men, other than excerpts from periodicals here and there.
Any thoughts?
Vincent.

Ciao Maurizio,

Wow what an honour!!!
Welcome to this great web-site! I also have some of your books and found the recent release Veltro C.205 Walk-around book very helful, indeed. I have always been fascinated by one particular WW2 pilot, Teresio Martinoli. Did you ever get to meet any of his family to find out more about him?

Hello Stefanuccio, and many greetings from a sunny Rome. Thanks a lot for your kind words. I didn't buy models in Rome, I prefer to buy them on the net. I didn't have so much kits (around 50 kits). because I think it is better to buy one and build it.
See you on this wonderful net, ok ?
All the best
Ciao Maurizio
