De Havilland Vampire in Italian Service

Thanks to these aircrafts Italy entered into the jet era. The De Havilland DH.100 Vampire was in fact the second jet engine fighter to be used in service in Great Britain and at the same time the first single-engine jet plane of the type mass-produced in the UK. It was so internationally successfully that also Italy built it under licence and its use marked the Italian post-war rebirth from 1948 to 1950 of both the national industry and the A. M. I., for whom the aircraft was the first jet engine fighter. The volume is rich of b&w, colour photos, profiles and drawings.
