The book in Italian and English text is a spectacular hardcovered photographic album of 128 pages, measuring 44×30 cm, containing +220 images, that celebrates the fifty operational seasons of the Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale (Italian Aerobatic Display Team). Symbol of Italy’s and Aeronautica Militare’s eccellent technical and professional capabilities, the Frecce Tricolori are recognized all around the world as one of the best aerobatic display teams, the only one to fly with 10 aircraft. Heir of a long tradition in collective aerobatics that had in the pilots of the 1° Stormo Caccia of Campoformido its first expression, the Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale flies a highly technical flying programme that has been attracting thousands spectators in Italy and abroad for half a century.
