Savoia-Marchetti S.M.82 Canguru

Marsupiale was S.M.75 which was civil transport and smaller than 82...

Ahh, just noticed the book I referenced:

Combat Aircraft of World War Two , Elke C. Weal, Royal Air Force Museum, Hendon,   Macmillan Publishing Co.  1977

listed it as Marsupiale/Canguro  .... actually, listed the S.M.75 that way, too.

Guess it was a typo or they didn't know which was which at the time of printing.

Sounds like a perk goon ride to me!!!

Looks like a Ju-52 APART from the typical rimmed (?) surfaces... I say it`s not a Ju-52, and no F-22 either.
