Default Piaggio p 108 3d

PIAGGIO P 108 ITALIAN HEAVY BOMBERS 3D reconstruction.





The P.108 was delivered to a single unit, the 274a Squadriglia (274th Squadron) in 1941.[2] But there were several accidents, one of them involving the son of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. On 7 August 1941, Bruno Mussolini, commander of the 274a Squadriglia, was piloting one of the prototypes of the "secret" bomber. He flew too low and crashed into a house.[5] The cockpit section separated from the rest of the aircraft and although the aircraft did not catch fire, it was nevertheless totally destroyed in the impact. Mussolini died of his injuries.
The incident Bruno Mussolini in my strange thoughts, you suddenly 'sabotage and not a mere accident. However, this and another story to investigate and search.
