Fiat A.S.2 Aerobatic Trainer — Archival Manual Collection

The Fiat A.S.2 was a strengthened, two-seat aerobatic and training evolution of the Fiat AS.1 high-wing light touring monoplane — a parasol-configuration aircraft built for sustained aerobatic loads, sport flying, and dual-control instruction. Powered by the air-cooled Fiat A.50 inline engine (~85–100 hp), it served Italian civil flight academies and military basic flight programmes in the early 1930s.

This Living Collection brings together 3 primary-source Italian-language documents issued by the Ministero dell'Aeronautica and Aeronautica d'Italia S.A., Torino — all fixed at their original publication dates and presented in archival facsimile.
