Le Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 Il è stato un bombardiere italiano e aereo da trasporto della seconda guerra mondiale. Era un trimotore monoplano a sbalzi e ali medie con un carrello a ruota posteriore retrattile. Furono costruiti 875 (più un prototipo), il primo entrato in servizio nel 1940. Sebbene in grado di operare come bombardiere con un carico massimo di bombe fino a 4000 kg, l'SM.82 vide un uso molto limitato in questo ruolo. L'SM.82 era l'aereo straniero utilizzato in gran numero dalla Luftwaffe, che operava diverse centinaia di questo aereo, come trasporto. Il dopoguerra circa 30 SM.82 continuarono in servizio con l'Aeronautica Militare Italiana, molti dei due rimasti in servizio fino ai primi anni '60.

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.
