Salone Internazionale dell'Aeronautica and the Italian Aircraft Industry

Abstract

An Introduction to the International Aircraft Exhibition and the Second International Exhibition of Airport Equipment which are to be Held at the Exhibitions Building, Valentino Park, Turin, and the City of Turin Airport, Caselle, from May 31 to June 7, and a Survey of the Current Range of Products of the Italian Aircraft Industry. The growth of the Italian aircraft industry since the Second World War and the extent of its participation in aircraft, missile and space vehicle programmes, particularly with other European countries, has led to Italy being recognized as having one of the leading industries in the Western world. Although the Italian industry has been well represented at overseas Air Shows, notably the Paris Salon Aeronautique and the Hanover Deutsches Luftfahrtschau, the feeling has existed for some time that Italy should have her own International Air Show—a Show at which Italian products and endeavour could be seen to best advantage.
