The Ansaldo S.V.A.5 is the result of the technological advancements in the Italian defense industry during World War I. The aircraft was designed by Ansaldo in 1917. This machine was renowned for its high speed, solid construction, and excellent handling characteristics. The S.V.A.5 was used by the Regia Aeronautica and Italy’s allied air forces for reconnaissance, scouting, and special missions.
