Based on the S.M.79

[Fictional story] This plane was initially born as a postal and passenger aircraft, however it immediately proved very effective as a bomber, its large wings and the fact of having three reactors instead of four guaranteed incredible autonomy compared to other models. Unfortunately it had a rather small bomb bay, consequently it could not carry more than six bombs ... Nevertheless, it proved to be a very reliable and fast aircraft even if vulnerable to enemy fighters.

    Looks nice, flies alright, but could use some more controls like wheel steering, performs alright too; it's fast enough to outrun Wright fleet's missile range

    @FatEgg In fact it is based on the Savoia Marchetti S.M.79, like the description says

    the combination of old italian plane and some advanced jet engine make it a great look.
