The Macchi MC 205 Veltro starts its service in 1943 and is considered one of World War II's most beautiful and practical planes. It is equipped with a 1475 cc engine, armed with two machine guns and two cannons. The name Veltro (greyhound) recalls the famous hunting dog that would save Italy mentioned by Dante in his Divine Comedy. The motto on the fuselage - "nock, bend and shoot” - is still used by the First Brigade of the Air Force Special Operations.
