Rare colour slides and prints, surprisingly well preserved, emerged from decades of obscurity. The result of this work is a volume which — from the Breda 65 to the Bf 109, passing through the Piaggio P.108 and the Stuka, without overlooking the Macchi fighters and the legendary S.79 — breathes life back into the skies of Ukraine and the sands of Libya. Whether portraying fast-paced combat or deceptively restful scenes, the pictures reveal new and deeper dimensions of these distant events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1405\" data-start=\"1116\"\u003eThe vast majority of the photographs in this book have never been published before, either in Italy or abroad.
