Italy's armistice with the Allies in September 1943 stopped the program, and the only two aircraft built at the time were requisitioned by the Germans and sent to Germany, where they flew with the Luftwaffe and were subsequently lost.

On 28 July 1945, a third example flew,[3] used with a fourth (still unfinished at the end of the war) with the Aeronautica Militare.

On January 27, 1951, lightning struck the Alitalia Savoia-Marchetti SM.95B Ugolino Vivaldi (registration I-DALO) - named after the Italian navigator and explorer Ugolino Vivaldi - during a flight from Paris-Le Bourget Airport in Paris, France, to Roma-Ciampino Airport in Rome, Italy.

The aircraft caught fire and crashed north of Civitavecchia, Italy, killing 14 of the 17 people on board.

In July 1939, the S.M.75 obtained a record of 12,935 km (8,034 mi), there were several long-range missions both with S.M.82 and the S.M.75, while for S operation it was considered the 4-engined CANT Z.511, an all-metal floatplane.

Although it was able to operate in adverse sea conditions (up to force-5 gales), this was not a very good idea, especially in the last year of war.

It was proposed that a long-range version of this aircraft, the SM.95 GA (with a range of over 11,000 km/6,840 mi) could be used to mount a bombing raid on New York City launched from Western France, but the presence of many Italian-Americans in the city meant that Benito Mussolini would only authorize the dropping of propaganda pamphlets.

[6] The mission, with a 500 kg (1,100 lb) load, was still in preparation when Italy signed the Armistice in September 1943.
