L'Armata Azzurra

L'Armata Azzurra (English: The Blue Army or The Blue Fleet AKA The Winged Armada and Italy Speaks) is a 1932 Italian aviation docu-drama and adventure film directed by Gennaro Righelli and starring Germana Paolieri and Ennio Cerlesi.

It was Italy's first aviation drama film, with a fictional story that celebrated the Italian Air Force.

[1][N 1]Commander Mario Spada (Alfredo Moretti) and Carlo Banti Ennio Cerlesi are pilots and best friends in the Regia Aeronautica Italiana (Italian Air Force).

Spada, motivated by his sister's anguish, and releasing she loves Banti, manages to bring him back to the base where he is warmly greeted by Elena.

However, somewhat artificially, a narrative theme was introduced involving the friendship of two young pilots, a daring rescue and other melodramatic incidents.
