Tá Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 byl italský bombardér a dopravní letoun z druhé světové války. Byl to konzolový jednoplošník středního křídla se zatahovacím podvozkem zadních tříkolek. Bylo vyrobeno 875 (plus jeden prototyp), první vstoupil do služby v roce 1940. Ačkoli byl SM.82 schopen pracovat jako bombardér s maximálním zatížením bomby až 8 818 liber (4000 kg), viděl v této roli velmi omezené využití. SM.82 byl zahraniční letoun používaný v největším počtu společností Luftwaffe, která provozovala několik stovek těchto letadel jako transport. Po válce pokračovalo ve službě s Aeronautica Militare Italiana asi 30 SM.82, z nichž mnohé zůstaly ve službě až do počátku 60. let.

General Characteristics

The Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 Canguru (Kangaroo, sometimes referred to by the earlier model’s name, Marsupiale) was an Italian three-engine, mid-wing monoplane used extensively by the Regia Aeronautica (Royal Italian Air Force) during World War II, primarily in the heavy transport role. Although capable of operating as a bomber, its main strength was its large fuselage capacity, which allowed it to carry heavy loads, including a disassembled Fiat CR.42 fighter or a small L3 light tank. Its construction was typical of Savoia-Marchetti designs of the time: mixed materials, including a welded-steel tube frame, wood, and fabric covering. The SM.82 was the foreign aircraft used in the largest numbers by the German Luftwaffe for transport duties. The type remained in service with the Italian Air Force until the early 1960s.
