Ethyopia

I removed that nonsense about spears and wood shields, which is a notorius myth.201.69.110.23 04:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orders of Battle

Is there some place on this page that an order of battle or two would help? I have one for the Regia Aeronautica in 1940 and another for 1943. -KingPenguin 16:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Russia

The Russian section is partly garbage. Anyone know what is meant? GrahamBould 13:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on

"The last mission of the Règia Aeronautica was the defence of USAF bombing on Frascati - Rome in September 8th 1943.not for Aeronautica Cobelligerante del Sud who were still RA

"The Règia Aeronautica officially ceased to exist when Italy became a republic on June 2, 1946, succeeded by the Aeronautica Militare."interesting except that RA went on existing past the armistice and past Mussolini declaring the RSI.

Also, the RSI's Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicanna was formed on 10 October 1943 and they flew against USAF, and Regia Aeronautica until complete defeat in north. They were also the lions share of the RA after the armistice. Some mention should be made. Fluffy999 15:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accented name

Shouldn't this article be located at Règia Aeronautica (note the accent over the e)? —Remember the dot ^(talk) 01:25, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for help

I have started work on the Air commanders of World War I. Any help that editors can offer in the Italian section, or elsewhere, would be greatly appreciated. Greenshed (talk) 21:10, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Source?

Hello everybody! Could someone please provide me with a citation to reference the following statement (located in the "World War II" section of this article): When World War II began in 1939, Italy had the smallest air force among the three major Axis powers. With a paper strength of 3,296 machines, only 2,000 were fit for operations, of which just 166 were modern fighters. I'm most interested in referencing the figures... Thank you very much! --MLWatts (talk) 22:13, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
