Finally, a photo taken in Vittoriale degli Italiani, private mansion and museum of Italian poet Gabriele d’Annunzio. If you go in the museum’s theatre, you can see the Ansaldo SVA.10 on which d’Annunzio lead a formation of 11 planes for his famous flight above Vienna on 9th August 1918, launching leaflets prompting the surrender of the Austro-Hungarian Army. For a long time this plane was thought to be a single-seater SVA.5 modified into a two-seater to carry d’Annunzio (countrary to popular belief, d’Annunzio never obtained a pilot license, and only flew as observer and gunner). However, a restoration in 1987 by Gruppo Amici Velivoli Storici found the construction number, which confirmed this version as being a native two-seater SVA.10.
