8 eduard - 11139 LIQUID MASK A 78a Squadriglia, Italy, 1918 The fuselage of this aircraft, serving with 78a Squadriglia as evidenced by the squadron number on the upper wing and on the fuselage below the cockpit, carried the flags of the user units of the Hanriot during the First World War. This aircraft is pictured with an American, Belgian and Italian pilot, all in their respective uniforms. The scheme of the plane included an olive green that was applied by hand, and on the wheel hubs and upper surfaces of the wings. B No. 6254, flown by Sottotenente Giorgio Michetti, 76a Squadriglia, Casoni, Italy, 1918 Giorgio Michetti was called to active duty in the army in 1915, where he was assigned to the 27th Field Artillery Regiment, but by his own request, he was transferred to the air force. After the required training, he was assigned to a reconnaissance unit. On June 20th, he began his fighter training and on July 29th, 1917, his career as a fighter pilot began with 76a Squadriglia, during the course of which he registered five kills. He is also known for a practical joke he played, in which he flew over the trenches of Austro-Hungarian infantry with a bag full of rats, depositing his cargo over his target. Giorgio Michetti died on February 4th, 1966 in Rome. The Hanriots flown by 76a Squadriglia were likely the most decorated in the Italian Air Force. Giorgio Michetti had a sea horse in a white ring painted on the sides of his aircraft and on the stabilisers. C 85a Squadriglia, Albania, late 1918 The 85a Squadriglia was formed on September 25th, 1917 and fought up to the end of the First World War on the Albanian front. The first equipment of the unit was composed of French Nieuport fighters, which were replaced the following year by Hanriot HD.Is. The unit was disbanded in October 1919. As with the pilots of other nationalities, the Italians had a tendency to decorate their aircraft. A rendition of playing cards was not limited to aircraft of the 85a Squadriglia, but have also been seen on aircraft of Tenente Baracchini of the 76a Squadriglia. D No. 562, flown by Tenente Antonio Bogliolo, 81a Squadriglia, Italy, 1918 81a Squadriglia was formed in March 1917, and in April reached its base Arcade, near Venice, armed with the Nieuport 11. Over the course of the year, the Nieuport 17 also appeared, and these were replaced in February 1918 by the Hanriot HD.I. Their number was unsatisfactory, and so they were supplemented by Nieuport 27s. These aircraft would serve out the remainder of the war, flying 4,118 combat flights and accounting for 34 kills. The aircraft flown by Tenente Boglioli was adorned with stars on the fuselage side and the fin, and the number of the unit appeared below the cockpit, which was also repeated on the upper wing. E flown by Tenente Mario Fucini, 78a Squadriglia, Italy, Autumn 1918 Mario Fucini entered the Italian Air Force in 1915, when he was assigned to 25a Squadriglia, flying Voisin aircraft. In the spring of 1917, he requested a transfer to a fighter unit, and after undergoing the necessary training, he joined 76a Squadriglia, with which he would gain his first kill on November 13th, 1917. On February 11th the following year, he was transferred to the 78a Squadriglia, and he would remain there until the end of the First World War, accumulating seventeen kills in the process. After the war, he remained with the air force, until being discharged in 1937. He would later write a book about his experiences during the war years. He died on September 1st, 1977 in Rome. Tenente Fucini commemorated his kills in the form of black skulls on a white flag, painted on his Hanriot. The number of the Squadriglia was painted below the cockpit of the aircraft. F No. 11432, 80a Squadriglia, Italy, 1918 As was the case with her sister unit 81a Squadriglia, this unit was also formed at Arcade, near Venice. In March 1917, the unit received the Nieuport 11. Conversion to the Hanriot HD.I came in the spring of 1918, and with these aircraft, the unit would fight to the end of the First World War. Over the course of this time, the unit's pilots flew 4,637 combat flights and amassed 21 kills without a single loss of life to itself. Hanriots of 80a Squadriglia had the Lion of St. Mark painted on their sides. The majority of Italian Hanriots did not carry the national insignia on the lower wings, but did have green (right) and red (left) wingtips.
