The Macchi MB-326 was developed during the
1950s to equip the training “Stormi” of the Italian Air Force. The initial
units of the new Macchi two-seat low-wing trainer were delivered in 1961, and
immediately proved to be a technically excellent aircraft with good flight and
operational characteristics. Easily recognizable by the two wing mounted air
intakes alongside the fuselage, it was fitted with a British made Bristol
Siddeley Viper jet engine. The MB-326 was supplied to deliver the advanced
training program of the Italian Air Force, fulfilling this important role for
several years before being replaced by the more modern MB-339. It also achieved
considerable worldwide commercial success, being sold in more than 10
countries. It indeed became one of the most popular aircraft produced by the
Italian aeronautical industry. The MB-326 could also be converted to have two
12.7 mm machine guns mounted, with an offensive capability load of underwing
rockets and bombs.
