Items related to Courage Alone: The Italian Air Force 1940-1943
During World War II, the Allies dismissed the Italian Air Force as hopelessly ineffective when it was not in retreat. Dunning uses original documents and firsthand accounts to argue that the Italian force's shortcomings were not the fault of its airmen, who were no less skilled or determined than their opponents, but the result of such fundamental problems as under-powered aircraft, a poor logistics system, and incompetent leadership.

About the Author:
Chris Dunning has spent twelve years researching original wartime documents, unit war diaries, and personal accounts to produce a comprehensive and dispassionate history of the Regia Aeronautica.
Review:
"In fact, this revised and updated edition is probably the most comprehensive book on the subject yet written. It makes this an outstanding reference for both the historian and for the modeler. It is a book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading and browsing through and I'm sure that you will agree. Highly recommended." -Modeling Madness, reviewed by Scott Van Aken, November 2009 (Modeling Madness 2009-11-01)
"Overall, an excellent book, on that should find its way on to your shelf, especially if you are interested in the Mediterranean theatre of operations or specifically the Regia Aeronautica. Highly recommended." -IPMS, reviewed by Chris Durden, December 2009 (IPMS 2009-12-01)
