Cuore Patria Volo - Heart Homeland Flight - 2nd edition (BACK IN STOCK)

The 2nd edition of the book Cuore Patria Volo, a unique historical-aeronautical work in the sector and warmly welcomed by the public and critics, is published in a 2-volume box set.

The new edition is an expansion and update of the 1st edition released on September 8, 2020 and represents the most recent and accurate work on the 2nd Fighter Group of the National Republican Air Force (1943/45) which, in the aftermath of the armistice, operated in defense of the Italian skies in increasingly dramatic and complex political and operational conditions.

What happened in the skies of central-northern Italy after September 8, 1943?

Who were the pilots of the National Republican Air Force?

Why did they continue to fly until the end in an unequal and hopeless fight?

The methodical historical and photographic research pays tribute to the deeds, the value and the sacrifice of resolute pilots who were inferior to their rivals only in numbers, materials and logistics. They were beaten, but never tamed.
