History of the Original – Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero

The Italian torpedo bomber SM.79 Sparviero played a key role on the fronts of World War II. Developed in the 1930s by Savoia-Marchetti, it was used extensively, mainly by Italy. It was famous for its distinctive three-engine configuration, unique silhouette, and excellent performance as a torpedo bomber. It saw its most intensive use between 1936 and 1945 over the Mediterranean Sea as well as in North African campaigns.
