天滅中共全黨死清光!

Seeing as how images of the military variants of the B707 have been done in a blank form, would it be alright to ask for other military variants like the B727, B737, B747, B757 and B767?

Savoia-Marchetti SM.75 in Hungarian service

Designed as a replacement for the SM.73, the SM.75 was Savoia-Marchetti's first airliner with a retractible undercarriage.



THe SM.75 served successfully in Italy, but only a single foreign customer purchased the aircraft, Hungary. Five aircraft were operated by the Hungarian airline MALERT before the second world war. With the start of hostilities the Hungarian aircraft were taken over by the Hungarian military for use as transports. Hungarian engineers militarised the aircraft, including fitting dorsal turrets and a forward dustbin turret.
The aircraft were allocated to the Hungarian paratroop force and were involved in the capture of strategic bridges as the Hungarian army advanced into Yugoslavia in April 1941.
However the lead aircraft of the attack group, carrying the commanding officer and the tactical documantation was lost in a crash immediately after take-off. The cause was never fully analysed, but was most proably due to an unsecured load sliding backwards on take-off, causing the aircraft to stall and crash.

Lots of trimotors lately! Nice to see some of these lesser known Italian designs getting the FD treatment.

Nice! The Skywarrior is one of those aircraft I can never believe how quickly the world forgot about them.

It is true that the skywarrior has been somewhat forgotten over the years but it remains a nice aircraft.
