O Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 foi um bombardeiro italiano e avião de transporte da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Era um trimotor monoplano de balanço e asa média com um trem de pouso retrátil na roda traseira. Foram construídos 875 (mais um protótipo), o primeiro entrando em serviço em 1940. Embora capaz de operar como um bombardeiro com uma carga máxima de bombas de até 8.818 lb (4000 kg), o SM.82 viu um uso muito limitado neste papel. O SM.82 foi a aeronave estrangeira usada em maior número pela Luftwaffe, que operou várias centenas desta aeronave, como transporte. No pós-guerra, cerca de 30 SM.82 continuaram em serviço com a Aeronautica Militare Italiana, muitos permanecendo em serviço até o início da década de 1960.

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.
