Aermacchi MB.326

[Stargazer]

Taking the opportunity of this nice Aermacchi brochure from May 1957 to start a thread for the MB.326 trainer, which was an important aircraft and deserves a topic of its own.
The brochure was in Italian, but contained pages with the translation in French, English, German and Spanish. As I'm limited by the number of attachments, I'm only sharing the English translation here, but if anyone is interested in the other pages, I can send them too. As a bonus, I've restored the cover artwork here below:

Brilliant Stargazer !
The MB326 has always been one of my favourites since seeing a trio of them at the Farnborough Air Show in 1972. It would be great if the other language pages could be posted as it helps with aeronautical phases and terms in other languages!
Thanks again for posting.

I just love the single seat versions.

Not necessarily. I'm no longer a moderator these days, but a quick look at your search results (a search which I did myself before starting this topic) shows we're dealing with either projects or different built types. I believe there is little justification in grouping the MB.326 with other "Aviation & Space" topics such as, say, the M.345, or with the unbuilt MB.326C version, which belongs in the "Postwar projects" section.

It was simply magnificent and capable.
