After Gazzera surrendered, Nasi, the acting Governor of Amhara, became the new acting Viceroy and Governor-General of the AOI. In 1965, Taiwan Vespa Co. Ltd was licensed for Vespa scooter production. These were the premier brands of scooters, bringing premium pricing to many, including farmers, whose link to the outside world was via purchases made in these catalogues. The Air Force was split into the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force in the south aligned with the Allies, and the pro-Axis Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana in the north until the end of the war. [85] Guglielmo Marconi and Galileo Ferraris, stationed to the north, failed to intercept the convoy but on 21 October the destroyers Nazario Sauro and Francesco Nullo with the destroyers Pantera, Leone attacked the convoy 150nmi (280km; 170mi) east of Massawa; the attackers caused only superficial damage to one ship. On 13 June, the Indian trawler Parvati struck a magnetic mine near Assab and became the last naval casualty of the campaign. A few days later, the same aircraft bombed the Italian base at Keru, fifty miles east of Kassala. In light of vastly-increasing US sales, Vespa developed the GT, offered as a 200cc four-stroke and a 125cc variant in Europe. [clarification needed] The aeronautical division was named IAM Rinaldo Piaggio. Wavell was responsible for the defence of Egypt through the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, British Troops Egypt, to train the Egyptian army and co-ordinate military operations with the Commander-in-Chief Mediterranean, Admiral Andrew Cunningham, the Commander-in-Chief, East Indies, Vice-Admiral Ralph Leatham, the Commander-in-Chief India, General Robert Cassels, the Inspector General, African Colonial Forces, Major-General Douglas Dickinson and the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Middle East, Air Chief Marshal William Mitchell. On 2 April, the five remaining Italian destroyers were due to attack the fuel tanks at Port Sudan and then scuttle themselves but RAF reconnaissance aircraft from Aden spotted the ships. Innocenti also distributed their Lambretta brand via Montgomery Ward's catalogue during this post-World War II period. Apart from air attacks the pursuit was not opposed until Keru Gorge, held by a rearguard of the 41st Colonial Brigade. The Savoia-Marchetti SM.75 Marsupiale (Italian: marsupial) was an Italian passenger and military transport aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s. In 2004, Vespa reintroduced a modernized PX 150 to the United States. Dickinson planned to defend Mombasa with the 1st East African Infantry Brigade and to deny a crossing of the Tana River and the fresh water at Wajir, with the 2nd East African Infantry Brigade. As of the 2011 Italian census, the Province of Genoa, which in 2015 became the Metropolitan City of Genoa, had 855,834 resident persons. The plane disappeared from radar as it was heading to Limon, a resort town on the coast. With the help of Mario D'Este he prepared the first Vespa project, manufactured at Piaggio newly-rebuilt Pontedera headquarters in April 1946. A Coastal Division and a Northern Frontier District Division had been planned but then the 11th (African) Division and the 12th (African) Division were created instead. Irregular bande were hardy and mobile, knew the country and were effective scouts and saboteurs, although sometimes confused with Shifta, marauders who plundered and murdered at will. [132] On the night of 10/11 February, eight Italian and two German ships sailed from Kisimayu for Mogadishu or Diego Suarez (now Antsiranana) in Madagascar. A cooling fan similar to that used on the MP5 "Paperino" prototype was included in the design of the production Vespa, and the grilles were removed from the fender.[2]. Piaggio launched the Vespa (Italian for "wasp") and within ten years more than a million units had been produced. [20], Danmotor Vespa Indonesia (DMVI) was a joint venture between Indonesian interests and the East Asiatic Company, which was based in Denmark. The aircraft was a further development of the Re.2000, with some of the modifications that already had been introduced in the Re.2001. [129] About fifty Italian and German merchant ships had been stranded at Massawa and Kisimayu on the outbreak of war and few were seaworthy by the time of the British invasion of the AOI but about twelve ships made the attempt. There are two models in the works, based on the popular Vespa LX 50 and the beefier Piaggio X8 125. [48][49] The Italians also drove a platoon of No 3 Company, Eastern Arab Corps (EAC) of the SDF, from the small fort at Gallabat, just over the border from Metemma, about 200mi (320km) south of Kassala and took the villages of Qaysn, Kurmuk and Dumbode on the Blue Nile. The East African campaign (also known as the Abyssinian campaign) was fought in East Africa during the Second World War by Allies of World War II, mainly from the British Empire, against Italy and its colony of Italian East Africa, between June 1940 and November 1941.The British Middle East Command with troops from the United Kingdom, South Africa, British India, Uganda [117] Against an expected six brigades and "six groups of native levies" holding the Juba for the Italians, Cunningham began Operation Canvas on 24 January, with four brigade groups from the 11th (African) Division and the 12th (African) Division.

The 4th Indian Division was sent 40mi (64km) along the road to Sabderat and Wachai, thence as far towards Keru as supplies allowed, with the Matilda Infantry tanks of B Squadron, 4th RTR to join from Egypt. The Vespa's enclosed, horizontally mounted 98cc two-stroke engine acted directly on the rear drive wheel through a three-speed transmission. [29] Eden convened a conference in Khartoum at the end of October 1940 with Selassie, South African General Jan Smuts (an advisor to Winston Churchill), Wavell, Lieutenant-General William Platt and Lieutenant-General Alan Cunningham. In that same year the Piaggio Historical Museum was inaugurated in Pontedera. Today five series are in production: the classic manual transmission PX and the modern CVT transmission S, LX, GT, and GTS. On 28 March 1923, the Italian Air Force was founded as an independent service by King Vittorio Emanuele III of the Kingdom of Italy. [112], On 20 April, the South Africans captured Dessie on the main road north from Addis Ababa to Asmara, about 200mi (320km) south of Amba Alagi. The 11th and 12th (African) divisions remained, supported by six RAF and SAAF squadrons. Ambushes were laid and prevented Italian reinforcements from occupying the fort or the hills on the flanks, despite frequent bombing by the Regia Aeronautica. The 5th Indian Brigade on the plain attacked with the Matildas, overran the Italians, knocked out several Italian tanks and cut the road to Keren. On 21 June 1941, Gazzera abandoned Jimma and about 15,000 men surrendered. The following is a list of aircraft used by Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare) since its formation on June 18, 1946. The company was founded by Rinaldo Piaggio in 1884, initially producing locomotives and railway carriages. The following is a list of aircraft used by Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare) since its formation on June 18, 1946. Features the front-fender-mounted headlight, shared only with the GTV 250. In July 1939, Wavell devised a strategy to defend and then to dominate the Mediterranean as a base to attack Germany through eastern and south-eastern Europe. [2] The 1948 Vespa 125 had rear suspension and a bigger engine. 5"), the prototype was nicknamed "Paperino" (meaning "Donald Duck" in Italian). [164], Until 27 November 1941, two African divisions mopped up pockets of resistance until the last formed Italian units surrendered. Hawker Hurricanes and more Gloster Gladiators began to replace some of the older models. It was one of a handful of Italian combat aircraft that could match the best manufactured by the Allies. [89] In June, an Italian force was assembled to capture the port city of Djibouti, the main military base. By 1940 Piaggio was manufacturing trains, nautical fittings, aircraft engines, aeroplanes, trucks, trams, buses, funiculars and aluminium windows and doors. In these areas, they often have to operate not only from airstrips, but from lakes and rivers as well. After World War II, when Italy became a republic following a referendum, the Regia Aeronautica was given its current name. Piaggio Aerospace declared bankruptcy in 2018 following a failed restructuring plan despite the aircraft's success. Quickly replaced by the GTS 300 Super. Floatplanes often have floats that are interchangeable with wheeled landing gear (thereby producing a conventional land-based aircraft). British casualties since 6 November were 42 men killed and 125 wounded. It entered service with Republic of China Air Force (Taiwan) in 1992. In the 1950s and early 1960s, Vespa and Lambretta scooters were raced competitively against motorcycles, often winning the races. Since its formation, the service has held a prominent role in modern Italian military history. The permanent exhibition includes those items which toured venues such as the Guggenheim in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Daniele Manin was hit amidships by two bombs and the crew abandoned ship; three Swordfish obtained near misses. [43] (From 5 to 19 August, RAF squadrons based at Aden flew 184 sorties, dropped 60 long tons (61t) of bombs, lost seven aircraft destroyed and ten damaged. The 29th Indian Infantry Brigade were placed on the Red Sea coast to protect Port Sudan, the 9th Indian Infantry Brigade was based south-west of Kassala and the 10th Indian Infantry Brigade (William Slim) were sent to Gedaref, with the divisional headquarters, to block an Italian attack on Khartoum from Goz Regeb to Gallabat, on a front of 200mi (320km). Founded by Giovanni Battista "Gianni" Caproni during 1908, the company produced several successful heavy bombers during the First World War. The two South African Brigades then launched a double flanking movement on Mega. It disappeared from radar as it was heading to Limon, a resort town on the coast. Italy, bordering the Mediterranean and Adriatic has had a long history of waterborne aircraft going back to the first Italian aircraft to fly. [39] The Frontier Battalion of the Sudan Defence Force, set up in May 1940, was joined at Khartoum by the 2nd Ethiopian and 4th Eritrean battalions, which were raised from migr volunteers in Kenya. The first BMW motorcycle was the boxer-engined R32 in 1923, and the company has enjoyed strong European and worldwide sales ever since with a variety of engines and motorcycles. By March 1940, the KAR strength had reached 883 officers, 1,374 non-commissioned officers and 20,026 African other ranks. As of the 2011 Italian census, the Province of Genoa, which in 2015 became the Metropolitan City of Genoa, had 855,834 resident persons. The army had failed to exploit British supply difficulties and had left stores behind for the British to use. The AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo (Chinese: ; pinyin: Jnggu Ho Zhnj), commonly known as the Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF), is a multirole combat aircraft named after Chiang Ching-kuo, the late President of the Republic of China.The aircraft made its first flight in 1989. [83] In August the British ran four convoys in each direction, five in September and seven in October, 86 ships in BN convoys and 72 in BS (southbound) convoys; the Regia Aeronautica managed only six air attacks in October and none after 4 November. On 22 November 1940 the Yugoslav steamer Durmitor, captured by the German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis, put in at Warsheikh with a cargo of salt and several hundred prisoners.[15]. The Macchi C.202 Folgore (Italian "thunderbolt") was an Italian fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by Macchi Aeronautica. After World War II, when Italy became a republic following a referendum, the Regia Aeronautica was given On 20 November, Wingate was flown to Sakhala to meet Sandford, and the RAF managed to bomb Dangila, drop propaganda leaflets and supply Mission 101, which raised Ethiopian morale, which had suffered much from Italian air power since the Second Italo-Abyssinian War. [140] Five Blenheims of 14 Squadron RAF arrived in time to see Nazario Sauro hit and attacked a stationary destroyer and reported that its crew abandoned ship, that it was set on fire, exploded and sank but Cesare Battisti was later found beached on the Arabian coast. In early November 1940, Cunningham had taken over the East African Force from Dickinson, who was in poor health. Source: RMV, Able Experimental Aircraft Engine Co.

On 11 August, Major-General Alfred Reade Godwin-Austen was diverted to Berbera, en route to Kenya to take command as reinforcements increased the British garrison to five battalions. Two expensive product-liability lawsuits, increased competition from Japanese scooters, and certain states' passing so-called "green laws" led to the bankruptcy of Vespa's American importer and the withdrawal of Vespa from the US market in late 1981. The Savoia-Marchetti SM.75 Marsupiale (Italian: marsupial) was an Italian passenger and military transport aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s. [160] By May 1941, of the c.350,000 men in the AOI available for military operations in June 1940, only the c.80,000 men in the garrisons near Gondar and the seven colonial divisions in Galla-Sidamo remained to be taken prisoner. Management of the company passed to his sons Enrico and Armando.[6]. From 1972 onwards the company was located at a purpose-built factory in Pulo Gadung. Four versions of the P.108 were designed, but only one, the 1953 model with a price of 110,000 Italian Lira (about US$175), 7,000 were produced, 125 Nuova (VMA-1T) - Prelude to Primavera, 50 Special Revival (Limited to 3,000 Italy-only numbered units, released in 1991), PK 125 Automatica (automatic transmission). Founded by Giovanni Battista "Gianni" Caproni during 1908, the company produced several successful heavy bombers during the First World War. In ten years of continuous progression over 1.3million new Vespas have reached the streets of the world. There were 183 first line aircraft and another 140 in reserve, of which 59 were operational and 81 were unserviceable. Metemma had two colonial battalions and a banda formation, all under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Castagnola. [23] The Vespa 946 was also launched this year, along with the new Vespa Primavera, the latest evolution of the "small body" family. By the end of 1940, the British had gained control of East African coastal routes and the Red Sea; Italian forces in the AOI declined as fuel, spare parts and supplies from Italy ran out. An ammunition lorry was set on fire by burning grass and the sound was taken to be an Italian counter-attack from behind. Edward Ellsberg later wrote that after arriving in April, with a salvage crew and specialist equipment, the United States Naval Repair Base, Massawa, opened on 8 May for repairs and maintenance. [104] Heath telephoned Bonetti with an ultimatum to surrender and not block the harbour by scuttling ships. [2] The decision to go back to radial engines was partly made due to the difficulty in obtaining German made Daimler-Benz DB 601 engines and Longhi's preference for radial engines. [140] On 2 April two Swordfish bombed a freighter at Merca and at dawn on 3 April, a search by six of the Swordfish began at 4:30 a.m. At 5:11 a.m. another Swordfish spotted four Italian destroyers 20nmi (23mi; 37km) east of Port Sudan. [12], In 1988 the Vespa reached the milestone of 10 million units produced.[13]. It was operated mainly by the Regia Aeronautica (RA; Royal Air Force) in and around the Second World War.According to aviation author David Mondey, the Folgore has been considered to be one of the best wartime fighters to serve in large numbers By 17 March, the 11th (African) Division completed a 17-day dash along the Italian Strada Imperiale (Imperial Road) from Mogadishu to Jijiga in the Somali Region of Ethiopia. Three pilots were killed; among them was Giuseppe Cenni, the commander of the unit. The Macchi C.202 Folgore (Italian "thunderbolt") was an Italian fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by Macchi Aeronautica. The following is a list of aircraft used by Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare) since its formation on June 18, 1946. Kassala was bombed and then attacked, the British retiring slowly. On 1 July, an Italian attack on the border town of Moyale, on the edge of the Ethiopian escarpment, where the tracks towards Wajir and Marsabit meet, was repulsed by a company of the 1st KAR and reinforcements were moved up. A footnote in Microsoft's submission to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has let slip the reason behind Call of Duty's absence from the Xbox Game Pass library: Sony and Due to the importance of Venice as a leisure Fixed-wing amphibious aircraft are seaplanes (flying boats and floatplanes) which are equipped with retractable wheels, at the expense of extra weight and complexity, plus diminished range and fuel economy compared to planes designed specifically for land-only or water-only operation. These evolved throughout the interwar period to ultimately culminate in the post World War 2 Supermarine Seagull, which was to have replaced the wartime Walrus and the Sea Otter but was overtaken by advances in helicopters. [16] The Italians had reserves for 75 per cent of their front-line strength but lacked spare parts and many aircraft were cannibalised to keep others operational. The first attempt, based on a small motorcycle made for parachutists, was known as the MP5 and nicknamed the "Paperino" (the Italian name for Donald Duck) because of its strange shape. Ashamed of not being allowed by his superior to fight to the death in the old style, the Italian governor, General Agenore Frangipani, killed himself with poison the next day. Growth in the US market and worldwide environmental concerns meant a need for larger and cleaner engines, so Vespa developed the LEADER (Low Emissions ADvanced Engine Range) series of four-stroke engines. However, they are also more versatile. Three Italian ships were scuttled in Kisimayu on 12 February as British troops reached the vicinity of the port which was captured with the support of Shropshire two days later. In 2016, under the patronage of the Italian Ministry of Culture, Piaggio received the Corporate Art Award from pptArt for its Corporate Museum. Some doubts were expressed as to the feasibility of negotiating offshore reefs in the dark, when the town behind was blacked out but the risk was taken. After the war, the United States military ordered hundreds of the Grumman Albatross and its variants for a variety of roles, though, like the pure flying boat was made obsolete by helicopters which could operate in sea conditions far beyond what the best seaplane could manage. Vespa restarted its American sales effort, opening its first boutique on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, California. [133] The attack was disorganised by low cloud, SS Monacalieri (5,723 GRT) was sunk but little more was achieved. In 1994, with the Typhoon still some years from introduction to service, 24 Panavia Tornado Air Defense Variant (ADV) interceptors were leased from the United Kingdom for a period of 10 years. A common solution is to make them retractable, like those found on the Consolidated Catalina; however, these are even heavier than fixed floats. The Regia Marina (Italian Navy) ordered Ettore Fieramosca, a submarine with a waterproof hangar for a small reconnaissance seaplane in the late-1920s.In 1928 Macchi and Piaggio each received orders for suitable aircraft which resulted in the Macchi M.53 and the Piaggio P.8, but the program was cancelled, and the submarine's hangar was removed in December 1931, before For other uses, see, Learn how and when to remove this template message, PX 200 Serie Speciale (Limited to 400 UK-only numbered units), T5 / Elestart (5 port engine 125cc P series), T5 Classic (5 port engine 125cc P series), T5 Millennium (5 port engine 125cc P series) (Limited to 400 UK-only numbered units), PX 150 (reintroduced to US and Canadian Markets in 2004), List of motor scooter manufacturers and brands, "Piaggio Group Launches Market Expansion Plans", "Scooter news and reviews, published by Frank Giovinazzi", "Photogallery - TrovaCinema - la Repubblica.it", "Auto Expo 2012: 13 years later, Piaggio brings Vespa to India - The Times of India", "World's most popular wasp: Vespa at 75 years old", "Vespa Quarantasei '46' Scooter First Look", "Preview EICMA 2012 A sneak peek at Piaggio's four upcoming Milan Show unveilings", Vespas first electric scooter is coming in 2018 with 62 miles of range, "Piaggio Group: Vespa Elettrica to go into production in September", Faceted Application of Subject Terminology, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vespa&oldid=1118149711, Vehicle manufacturing companies established in 1946, Articles needing additional references from July 2010, All articles needing additional references, Articles needing additional references from June 2022, Official website different in Wikidata and Wikipedia, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0, Small Frame Class: Open class up to 152cc, Paperino the original prototype made in 1945 at Biella, Vespa U - U is for utilitaria (English - economic).
