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.
