Raid on the Rock - Tribute to the Crews of the Regia Aeronautica by Ivan Berryman [Postcard]

Artist: Ivan Berryman [browse all Ivan Berryman]              

The only four engined heavy bomber to serve with the Regia Aeronautica, the Piaggio P.108 was built in too few numbers to have any significant effect in the Italian air campaign in World War Two, but was a worthy aircraft with several innovative design features, not least the remotely controlled gun barbettes in the outer engine nacelles. Most notable of the P.108's achievements were a number of daring night time raids on Gibraltar, as depicted here, flying from 274a Squadriglia's base at Decimomannu on Sardinia.
