My great grandfather flew in one of those, he was captain and the leader of his squadron, he had been shot down 3 times and one time he was declared dead for a week, but in the end he was found an rescued, he made a lot of photos of those years and I still have all of them in very good conditions somewhere in my house.

Listening to a stuka pilot interview who has served in North Africa, he said the sparviero pilots attacking Allied shipping were some of the bravest men he saw in the war. They took huge casualties but continued to go out boldly.

@@piersp38 yes my grandpa was in the Luftwaffe and I'm always asking him questions, knowing there's not much time left. The issue is they get so old they repeat the same stuff over and over :/

I think this warbird has got to be one of the most 'tough-arse'-looking warplanes ever to see the skies during the Second World War! ... Never ceases to give me goose-pimples when I see this plane in war footage.

Outstanding.

[@leehale5828]

Really excellent footage!

[@schaerffenberg]

One of the greatest aircraft in military history. Certainly, World War Two's best torpedo-bomber, with the highest success rate for type. Sparrowhawks were still sinking Allied vessels into 1945. Read "Mussolini's War" from The Barnes Review Press. Terrific stuff.

[@strixaluco5718]

Nowhere near as fast or survivable as the Bristol Beaufighter of Coastal Command.

[@richter56]

Bello... ottima restaurazione e colorizzazione peccato però che le proporzioni larghezza/altezza siano errate schiacciando tutto quanto e facendo perdere un parte del piacere visuale. Lo si vede bene specialmente sugli oggetti circolari che sono ovalizzati. Forse si può caricare di nuovo rispettando le proporzioni...

[@redacted2713]

A me onestamente non sembra

@@redacted2713 E' sufficiente misurare la larghezza e l'altezza del coperchio motore vistodi fronte : 90 pixel di larghezza x 72 di altezza

Would you consider the SM79 a medium bomber, or a heavy bomber? Excellent footage!

[@Military_Clips_Restored]

Thank you Erik. I think it was a medium bomber

[@neutronalchemist3241]

It's a medium bomber. The extra engine gave it an edge in speed (but not in load) in respect to contemporary medium bombers.

[@craigpennington1251]

Terrible piano playing. This looks to be a re enactment video. I do like these aircraft. A very unique styling.
