(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Italian cobelliggering aeronautics It is an informal and unofficial denomination used in the past to identify those departments of the Air Force Royal that were or moved to the so -called South Kingdom (territory of Southern Italy freed from the allies where King Vittorio Emanuele III had taken refuge) after the Badoglio proclamation of 8 September 1943 on the Cassibile armistice. This strength, reorganized and equipped by the summer of 1944 also of appliances of Anglo-Stanitentense origin, then operated alongside the allies until the end of the war mainly in the Balkan theater. The name “Italian Cobelliggering Air Force” and other similar acronyms, both in Italian and English, have no feedback in the documents of the time and have been used in the past by some historians and commentators. Officially, the Aeronautical Royal changed its name to the Italian Air Force on 18 June 1946. Most of the departments remained in the North and Central Italy (territory controlled by the Germans and members of what later became the Italian Social Republic) went to establish the National Republican Air Force (ANR) on 27 October 1943, which continued to operate next to it At Luftwaffe by performing aerial defense tasks of the large industrial centers of northern Italy.        (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4At the end of 1943, the clauses of the surrender to the allies imposed that each Italian plane remained under the control of the Aeronautical Royal was transferred to the allied bases. Despite the great difficulties, such as the lack of fuel, the presence of German troops and the distance of the bases in the Aegean, Albania and Greece, combined with the limited autonomy of Italian airplanes, 203 Italian planes (39 hunting, 117 bombers or transport and 47 seaplanes) [first] They landed in allied airports, but most of them were unable to continue fighting for a long time. United with another hundred appliances that were already in the allied area, they constituted a base of 250 functioning planes, for many of which, however, the aeronautical director had already planned the replacement, as obsolete; In addition, all Italian aeronautical factories were in the north, in German hand. However, the members of the Air Force Royal continued to honor the oath made to the king and respect the agreements taken by the Italian government with the allies, actively participating in the liberation war. At the beginning, the real protagonists of the reorganization of the Aeronautical Royal were the mechanics of the S.r.a.m. that, thanks to a patient work of finding and adaptation of spare parts, they tried to put as much as the greatest amount of airplanes possible, whose crews were still trained to fly also with allied planes in transport operations, escort, reconnaissance , rescue in the sea and limited tactical operations: in total 11,000 missions took place between 1943 and 1945. The reorganization of the Aeronautical Royal began immediately after September 8, when in 24 hours the 4th flock implemented the first defense actions from the Germans and the first offensive actions against the new enemy. For about a month, the Aeronautical Royal operated on its own initiative, on indications of the Supreme Command, without operational control of the allies and without the armistial limitations, up to the official recognition of the status of cobelliggering. This was possible for the presence of the king and top of the armed forces settled in Brindisi. Decisive for the realization of the new objectives was the meeting of 15 September 1943 between the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, the division General Renato Sandalli, and the Air Commodore Foster, head of the aeronautical division of Allied Control Commission . On September 21, the insignia of the Aeronautical Royal in the tricolor farm positioned in the typical positions were changed: on the sides of the fuselage and on the wings. After the dismissal of Benito Mussolini the previous 25 July and with the consequent fall of fascism, in fact, the air force direction had gradually eliminated the signs of the literal bundles from its aircraft, but an alternative had not been provided for which, for about two months , the only national sign remained the white cross of Savoy on drift. The new provisions became operational on October 15, 1943, when the Aeronautical Royal possessed 281 appliances, of which 165 operational. [first] The Italian government had declared war on Germany on October 13th.        (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In that first period the Aeronautical Royal never operated on the Italian territory: its operating theater was limited to the Balkans (Yugoslavia, Albania), also to avoid clashes between planes with Italian crews, an eventuality that never occurred. Among the remarkable departments of this aerial force we mention the Baltimore flock, set up on the temporary flight field of Campo Vesuvio (near Naples-Ottaviano) on 1 July 1944 [2] , which saw Carlo Emanuele Buscaglia among its members, and the nocturnal flock, established in May 1944 in Lecce with the survivors Cant Z.1007.
