The S.79 Sparviero is an Italian bomber aircraft developed by Savoia-Marchetti in the late 1930s. It was designed for medium bombing missions and featured a distinctive three-engine configuration, which contributed to its speed and maneuverability. The aircraft was widely used during World War II, particularly in the Mediterranean theater. The Sparviero was known for its versatility, serving not only as a bomber but also in roles such as reconnaissance and transport. Its robust design allowed it to withstand significant damage, making it a reliable choice for the Regia Aeronautica, the Italian Royal Air Force, during the conflict.
