This volume assesses the formidable Special Forces fielded by
Italy's navy and air force in World War II. Italian Navy Special
Forces were particularly active and respected in the Mediterranean,
where 10th Motor-Torpedo Boat Flotilla used frogmen, 'two-man
torpedoes' and explosive ram-boats. The Italian Air Force formed a
special commando unit, ADRA, before the 1943 surrender; it was
tasked with attacking Allied airfields and communications in North
Africa. Men from ADRA and Army paratroopers formed the new
'Folgore' Regiment, which also continued to fight alongside German
forces until 1945. In both cases, the pro-Allied Italian forces
also formed 'mirror' units to fight alongside US and British
forces, including the Recce Squadron 'F'. Featuring rare
photographs and specially commissioned artwork, this book tells the
story of the little-known elite forces fielded by Italy's navy and
air force in World War II, some of whose successors remain in
service with today's Italian armed forces.
