Regia Aeronautica

The Regia Aeronautica was Italy’s national air force, established in 1923 and active until 1943. It was responsible for Italy’s military aviation operations during that period, including combat missions in World War II. The force included fighters, bombers, and reconnaissance planes, and was part of Italy’s broader military strategy. Its aircraft and pilots played significant roles in various campaigns across Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean. In 1943, it was reorganized into the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare), continuing Italy’s air defense and military efforts today.
