Indiza yokuthutha yase-Italy i-Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Immola eningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Finland, lapho ibutho le-Terraciano lamiswa khona kusukela ngoJuni 16 kuya kuJulayi 2, 1944.

Naphezu kokuzinikela okungenamibandela kwe-Italy ngoSepthemba 8, 1943, ingxenye ebalulekile yebutho lasemoyeni lase-Italy yaqhubeka nokubamba iqhaza eMpini Yezwe II, ilwa njengengxenye ye-National Republican Air Force (Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana) kanye ne-Third Reich noma i-Italy. amandla asemoyeni. Aviazione Co-Belligerante Italiana) kanye nabalingani. Izizathu ezivame kakhulu zokukhethwa kwakuyimibono yezombangazwe, ubungane, nendawo yomndeni; kwanqunywa ngezikhathi ezithile ukuthi kumiswe iyunithi ngosuku lokuzinikela.

I-National Republican Aviation yayinenhlangano nomyalo wayo, kodwa, njengawo wonke amaButho Ahlomile e-Italian Social Republic, yayisebenza ngaphansi koMkhuzi Ophakeme we-Axis e-Italy (umphathi wamasosha aseJalimane eNhlonhlweni yase-Apennine, umkhuzi Wezempi. Iqembu C) UMarshal Albert Kesselring kanye no-Commander 2nd Air Fleet Field Marshal Wolfram von Richthofen. U-W. von Richthofen uhlose ukuhlanganisa i-National Republican Air Force ku-Luftwaffe njenge-"Italian Legion" ukuze igcinwe ngaphansi kokulawula okuphelele. Nokho, ngemva kokungenela kuka-Mussolini okuwujuqu ezindabeni zikaHitler, uField Marshal Wolfram von Richthofen waxoshwa futhi esikhundleni sakhe kwathathwa uJenene Maximilian Ritter von Pohl.

E-National Republican Aviation, eholwa yi-ace fighter edume uColonel Ernesto Botta, i-directory kanye nendlunkulu yadalwa, kanye namayunithi alandelayo: isikhungo sokuqeqesha abasebenzi be-torpedo, ibhomu nezindiza zokuthutha. Insimu ye-Italian Social Republic ihlukaniswe izingxenye ezintathu zomthwalo wemfanelo: 1. I-Zona Aerea Territoriale Milano (Milan), 2. I-Zona Aerea Territoriale Padova (Padua) kanye ne-3.

Izindiza zeNational Republican Aviation zaziyizimpawu endaweni engaphezulu nephansi yamaphiko ngendlela yezixha ezimbili zotshwala ezinesitayela emngceleni oyisikwele. Ekuqaleni, ayependwe ngokuqondile kungemuva lokucasha ngopende omhlophe, kodwa ngokushesha isitembu sashintshwa saba mnyama futhi sabekwa kungemuva elimhlophe. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kwethulwa uhlobo olulula lwebheji, kupenda izakhi ezimnyama kuphela ngokuqondile ngemuva kokufihla, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezingaphezulu zamaphiko. Ezinhlangothini zombili ze-fuselage yangemuva (ngezinye izikhathi eduze nendawo yabagibeli) kwakukhona uphawu olufana nefulegi lezwe lase-Italy elinomngcele ophuzi (ohlelwe emaphethelweni: phezulu, phansi nangemuva). Izimpawu ezifanayo, ezincane kakhulu kuphela, zaphindwa ezinhlangothini zombili zeyunithi yomsila noma, ngokungajwayelekile, engxenyeni engaphambili ye-fuselage. Uphawu lwaludwetshwa ngendlela yokuthi oluluhlaza (olunonqenqema oluphuzi olubushelelezi) luhlale lubheke lapho lundiza khona.

Ngenxa yokwesaba ukuthi abashayeli bezindiza be-NPA abathunjiwe ngeke baphathwe njengeziboshwa zempi (njengoba i-United States ne-Great Britain zaziqaphela kuphela lokho okubizwa ngokuthi i-Southern Kingdom) futhi bazonikezwa i-Italy, eyayizobalahla njengamambuka, izisebenzi zezindiza. weButho Lezempi Lasemoyeni Lase-Fascist lase-Italy elalisanda kwakhiwa labamba iqhaza ekulweni phezu kwendawo elawulwa amasosha aseJalimane namaNtaliyane. Izindiza phezu kwendawo yesitha zenziwa kuphela izisebenzi zamabhomu e-torpedo,

owazinikela.

Ukungazethembi kwakhe kwashabalala futhi wanquma ukudonsa umoya. Kungani akwenza? Njengoba ebhala - ngenxa yokuzizwa kobuzalwane nabanye abashayeli bezindiza, kuhlanganise nabaseJalimane, ahamba nabo futhi balwa iminyaka engaphezu kwemithathu, futhi abafa phakathi nale mpi.

I-Terraciano Transport Aviation Squadron (I Gruppo Aerotransporti "Terraciano") yasungulwa esikhumulweni sezindiza saseBergamo ngoNovemba 1943, kanti umkhuzi wayo kwakungu-Major V. Peel.
