SM-79 Sparviero (Sparrowhawk) made history as a fast, three-engine torpedo bomber and transport aircraft. Manufactured by Savoia-Marchetti, it entered service with the Italian Royal Air Force (Regia Aeronautica) before World War II. From 1936 to 1945, the aircraft saw use in both the Spanish Civil War and World War II, where it was deployed, among other places, in the Mediterranean and North Africa for attacks on Allied convoys. Thanks to its unique fuselage design and solid build, the SM-79 became a symbol of the Italian air forces of that era.
