Military AI Works

A restored IMAM Ro.37, a biplane made in Italy during the 30s, has been finally presented at the Volandia Museum, close to Malpensa Airport in Milan.
The wreck of the aircraft was found with several others in Afghanistan few years ago, and it has been exposed at the Italian AF Musem at Vigna di Valle, close to Rome.
At the following link you can find a photo of the aircraft's wreck, taht I took when I last visited the museum in 2008, and a link to the news with photos of the restored aircraft

Nice pics Giacomo. What is the story with the aircraft displaying the Maltese Cross?

From the Aeronautica Millitare site:
The model on display has the insignia of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. After the war, the passage to the Order of Malta made possible to save from destruction a few models of S.82, circumventing the strict terms of the armistice treaty.
