Title: Breda 65

The Breda 65 was a single-engine low-wing monoplane optimised for ground attack. It first flew in 1935 and 218 examples had been built when production ended in 1939. The first 81 aircraft used the 700 hp Gnome-Rhone K-14 engine, built under licence by Isotta-Fraschini, while the later aircraft used the 1,000 hp Fiat A/80 R.C.41 engine.

Although effectively obsolete by the start of WW2 the type saw extensive service in North Africa and the Middle East. Examples were exported to Iraq, Chile and Portugal.

This title includes two Italian Defence Ministry maintenance manuals for two versions of the Breda 65 using different engines, and the parts manual for the Breda 65 using the Fiat A/80 engine. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages.
