サヴォワ・マルケッティSM.79スパルビエロ(イタリア語で「スパローホーク」)は、木材と金属構造を持つ3エンジンのイタリアの中型爆撃機でした。1937年から39年の間にそれはもともと高速旅客機として設計されたこの低翼単葉機は、世界最速の中型爆撃機としてしばらくの間それを修飾した26の世界記録を樹立しました。
それは最初にスペイン内戦中に行動を見て、イタリアが第二次世界大戦中に関与したすべての戦線に飛びました。それは有名になり、地中海の劇場で魚雷爆撃機として多くの成功を収めました。SM.79は優れた航空機であり、確かに第二次世界大戦の最もよく知られているイタリアの飛行機でした。それは独特の胴体背背の「こぶ」のために容易に認識され、ゴボ・マレデット(「気まぐれなハンチバック」)の愛称で呼ばれた乗組員に好かれました。●第二次世界大戦で最も広く生産されたイタリアの爆撃機で、約1,300機が建造され、1952年までイタリアのサービスに残っていました。ソース： ウィキペディアの SM-79

The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero was a famous Italian three-engined medium bomber and torpedo bomber that became arguably the best-known Italian aircraft of World War II. Initially designed as a fast, eight-passenger transport in the early 1930s, its excellent performance led to its adoption by the *Regia Aeronautica* (Italian Royal Air Force) for military service.
Design and Nickname
The SM.79 was a cantilever low-wing monoplane. Its construction was a combination of wood and metal, with a fuselage featuring a distinctive dorsal “hump” housing the fixed forward-firing machine gun and the dorsal gunner’s position. This unique silhouette earned it the crew nickname *il gobbo maledetto* (“damned hunchback”).
- Configuration: Trimotor (three engines), with one engine in the nose and one on each wing.
- 建設： Welded tubular steel fuselage frame, covered with a mix of duralumin, plywood, and fabric. All-wood wings.
- Crew: Typically 5 or 6 (pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer/gunner, radio operator, bombardier, rear gunner).
- Powerplant: Various radial engines, commonly three Alfa Romeo 126 RC.34 engines, each producing around 780 hp.
- Performance: Early versions set 26 world records between 1937 and 1939, giving it a reputation as one of the fastest medium bombers in the world at the time. Max speed was around 430 km/h.
Wartime Role
The SM.79 first saw combat during the Spanish Civil War and became the backbone of Italy’s bomber force at the start of World War II. It was the most numerous Italian bomber produced during the conflict, with over 1,300 units built.
- Medium Bomber: Used for conventional bombing on multiple fronts, including the Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Eastern Front. It carried an internal bomb load of up to 1,250 kg.
- Torpedo Bomber: In its most successful role, the SM.79-II variant was adapted to carry one or two external torpedoes (450 mm naval torpedoes) and achieved notable success attacking Allied shipping in the Mediterranean. These crews were highly celebrated in Italy.
- 武装： Defensive weaponry typically included three to four machine guns: a fixed forward-firing 12.7 mm machine gun in the dorsal hump, one flexible 12.7 mm gun in the dorsal position, and a flexible 12.7 mm gun in the ventral “gondola” (a retractable belly position).
The type remained in Italian service until 1952.
