Nice work. I think Stukas look better in Italian markings than any other.

Best wishes,
Brendan

I agree

! I also think the RA used the planes in the best way, having invented the skip bombing technique way before it was seen in the Pacific.

Funny that you mentioned that. I was watching a special on TV a few days (mostly on the Pacific war) and they mentioned it. I had never heard it before (sorry for the ignorance), and was quite surprised that the RA had invented the technique.

Giuseppe Cenni is credited with having invented the approach, in response to too few Ju.87s available to the RA. This was done to increase the probablility of a hit on a vessel - and it worked

Alex,

Don't worry about not knowing the RA "invented" skip-bombing; I knew what it was but had no clue that the Italians invented the technique!

And yes, Stukas (like almost any plane) look better in Italian markings. Nice work Fredi!

Regards,
Alex
