All I can find about it are a couple short paragraphs. | I'll have to see what I can find on the Net 
Thanks, M8

| That would be a Piaggio P-108, Viper. Some obscure Italian bomber that cheese came upon somehow  http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=150
I've been in the Belle. Really cool experience.
