THE RETAIL VERSION
In 1949 Italy joined NATO and this made it possible for the new Aeronautica Militare
Italiana to modernize its forces. Early in the 1950s an Italian Air Force Basic Flying
School was formed in the Naples area and the training aircraft of choice was the North
American Aviation T-6G Texan painted in camouflage orange. An AA+ marking on the
aircraft was the designator for the Napoli school. By 1962 jet aircraft were the standard
of most air forces and the Italian made Aermacchi MB326 jet trainer was replacing the
Texan.
