The rear fuselage displays the unveiling of the original two paint livery (white and sea blue-grey)

For its F-84s and F-86s, the AMI simply adopted USAF 1950s-style serials, both on record and on the aircraft. Examples here are the Fiat-built F-86 and F-84F MM53-6892 behind it. The black cat with green mice logo of 51° Stormo originates from a 1939 rivalry between bomber and fighter pilots based at Roma-Ciampino.

Savoia, Verduzio (designers) and Ansaldo (company) set out to build a fighter but the resulting SVA was deemed unsuitable for that role. It could however fly very far, high and fast and so became an excellent reconnaissance plane. This is one of the aircraft of the propaganda Flight over Vienna in 1918. The Lion of St. Mark was the insigna of the 87a squadriglia 'Serenissima' and the painting depicts general Gabriele d'Annunzio, the organiser of the famous flight.

One of two Spad VIIs in Hangar Troster, this plane was flown by ace Ernesto Cabruna and wears visible patches that cover bullet holes from combat. It was recovered in a delapidated state and beautifully restored, showing the markings of the 77a Squadriglia. The serial is not visibly worn.
