Version: 1.0
Aircraft: Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79
Lenght: 30 missions
Type: Semi-Historical

This is release of Mediterranean War flying the S.M.79 for Dark Blue World. Attention was focused on fixing AI, atmosphere, navigation and radios. Fly and listen the '30-'40s songs of Radio Roma! The implementation of Radio operator in the S.M.79 crew and the radio beacon permits a realistic navigation. Events, dates and locations are historical, planeset is accurate, many ground and air units are used for recreating these dramatic battles. Flight plans are fictional. Campaign difficult could be considered "high", expecially in Theatre 2, due to realistic set of forces. Command & Control features were fixed.

Theatre 1: Malta
Theatre 2: Operation Harpoon and Pedestal
