Hi All,

I'm looking for a site with Squadriglia, Gruppo and Stormo insignias. Does anyone know if such a site exist and if so where?

Thanks

Thanks Vincent, but already know that site.
And there are many more insignias beside those.

Like on this Fiat BR.20

Problem with this one of Black Pete is that it's too small to re-create properly :(.

No site I'm aware of however you might want to get a copy of Chris Dunnings book Courage Alone (sadly now OOP) that chronicles all the RA squadriglie, gruppi and stormi and contains a list of unit badges, emblems and insignia at the very end of the book.

Thanks Vince.
Did find 2 books but prize was between £241 and £393 :shock:.

ouch! :!: A used copy of Dunnings book will fetch a handsome price also. I guess the moral of the story is to get those references when you can because as soon as the books are out of print (especially RA related material), it becomes a collector's item.

Hi Guys,
Take a look at Amazon.com, "Courage Alone is being listed for $843.95!
That's insane!!
I have a copy and would never have thought that it would be worth 10 times what I paid for it.

Dunning's book was also printed in Italian translation by Delta Editrice.

If you can live with the Italian Text, the title is "Solo Coraggio", it is practically identical to the English edition (errors included) and it seems to be still in special offer at Aviolibri for 30 Euros.
