| Savoia Marchetti S.74 |
| Italy, 1934 - The S.74 was the first
four engined aircraft of the SIAI-Marchetti firm. The type served
Ala Littoria for a long time on its Rome-Marseille-Lyon-Paris and
Rome-Brindisi routes. The aircraft was praised for its achievements
(a world record on its first flight, a very good climber) and its
roomy interior with oxygen masks for the high altitudes over the Alps!
Only three examples were constructed however. They were transformed
into troop ships during World War Two and served in Northern Africa.
The last of these peculiar and characteristic giants flew until July
1943. |
