Armamento: Nozione Teoriche Per Gli Allievi Piloti

Google translate gives the title in English as - Armament: Theoretical Notions for Student Pilots

Some interesting diagrams and charts of armament (bombs and guns) are in this book. Date of publication is 1940

Thanks Jim

It appears to be only part of the manual. The discussion of explosives (at the front) and chart of the type of bombs and the characteristics of said bombs (p.356) will be useful. I noted that strafing and dive bombing are discussed.

Pista! Jeff

Here's another one from Internet Archive

Caratteristiche Velivoli Italiani

Google translates the title as Italian Aircraft Features

Scan is not that great, the drawings are a bit crude but a very interesting manual with specifications, performance and armament of various Italian combat aircraft, including ones that only existed as prototypes or were never built
