This nacelle was removed, for housing the torpedo, on the S.79s converted in torpedo bomber. The aircraft of the photo, taken soon after the entry in the war of Italy, has both the upper machine guns. The 46th Stormo was transferred from Pisa, his first base, to Albania and, finally, transformed in torpedo bomber’s unit. Victor Sierra
