De Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 was een Italiaanse bommenwerper en transportvliegtuig uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het was een cantilever, mid-wing eendekker trimotor met een intrekbaar, staartwiel onderstel. Er werden 875 (plus één prototype) gebouwd, de eerste in dienst in 1940. Hoewel hij in staat was om te opereren als een bommenwerper met een maximale bomlading van maximaal 4000 kg, zag de SM.82 een zeer beperkt gebruik in deze rol. De SM.82 was het buitenlandse vliegtuig dat in het grootste aantal werd gebruikt door de Luftwaffe, die enkele honderden van dit vliegtuig als transport gebruikte. Naoorlogs ongeveer 30 SM.82s voortgezet in dienst met Aeronautica Militare Italiana, velen die in dienst tot de vroege jaren '60 blijven.

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.
