| Italian torpedos From Allied Intelligence Bulletin,January 1943 "Torpedo squadrons are believed to have the highest morale of all units of the Italian Air Force. Their efficiency is such that Germany has sent squadrons to Italy for instructions in torpedo tactics. Italian aircraft torpedoes are believed to be superior to those of German design and are probably used by the German Air Force." Lone Sentry: Torpedo Bomber, Italian Savoia-Marchetti SM-79 (WWII U.S. Intelligence Bulletin, January 1943)
