On display at JASDF Hamamatsu Kohokan. The SVA.5 was designed as a fighter by Umberto Savojal and Rodolfo Verduzio during World War I. It was not as maneuverable as other fighters, so the type was used for long-range reconnaissance and as a light bomber. The two-seater SVA.9 was derived from the SVA.5 and remained in service with the Regia Aeronautica until 1927. The SVA.9 was flown by Arturo Ferrarin and Guido Masiero in the 1920 Rome-Tokyo Raid, with the former famously winning the race in 112 hours over multiple stages.
