These aircraft, photographed during the approach to Ciampino airport, belonged to 101ª and 102ª Squadriglia of the 5° Stormo Assalto. The one in the foreground is extracting the main landing gear legs.

The Breda 65 A.80 was powered by an 1,000 hp Fiat A.80 RC.41 eighteen-cylinder radial piston engine."
