V Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 je bil italijanski bombnik in transportno letalo druge svetovne vojne. To je bil konzolni enokrilni trimotor s srednjim krilom z zložljivim podvozjem zadnjega kolesa. Zgrajenih je bilo 875 (plus en prototip), prvi je začel obratovati leta 1940. Čeprav je lahko deloval kot bombnik z največjo obremenitvijo bomb do 8.818 lb (4000 kg), je bil SM.82 v tej vlogi zelo omejeno uporabljen. SM.82 je bilo tuje letalo, ki ga je v največjem številu uporabljala Luftwaffe, ki je upravljala več sto teh letal kot transport. Po vojni je okoli 30 SM.82 nadaljevalo uporabo z Aeronautica Militare Italiana, mnogi pa so ostali v službi do zgodnjih 1960-ih.

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.
