Maltese aviation artist and historian Richard J. Caruana started his career circa 1972. Continuing with the study of the lesser known Air Forces that fought in the skies of Europe during World War II, in this book we want to remember the Italian Air Force that after the Armistice in 1943 remained under the command of Benito Mussolini and allied to Germany better than join to the Western Allies: the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana (ANR). At the same time two different Italian Air Forces fought in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, although they didn t fight each other. Fortunately several works above all from Italian authors rescued the ANR from the oblivion, although there are few works from non-Italian authors too. The works written for D Amico, Valentini, Di Terlizzi, Garello, Arena, Neulen, Beale, Gentili, etc. . had provided us with a good knowledge about the matter. In this work we have tried to create a text that allow to all readers to understand and know the most important facts in the history of all branches of the ANR (without forgetting that the ANR was not only formed by planes but ground forces, such as parachutist also) since it was created to the end of World War II. For this, it has been necessary look for information in different sources, from the mains to the minors, to try to complete the research and offer it in the most definite way but don't trying to be exhaustive but as educational as possible. Finally as is appropriate we use this work to pay tribute to all the members of the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana that fought in World War, defending the skies and grounds of their country.
