The Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 Pipistrello (Italian: bat) was the first three-engine bomber/transport aircraft serving in the Italian Regia Aeronautica. When it appeared in 1935 represented a real step ahead in Italian military aviation: it was fast well armed and had a long range. It proved effective during the war with Ethiopia and the Spanish Civil War.
