In this first volume devoted to Italian armoured cars, we begin by presenting the earliest and oldest ones. In the beginning, these were mainly models that remained at prototype level, or vehicles produced in very low numbers. Of the many, we have devoted some space to the oldest blindos such as the Bianchi, which was already present in the Italo-Turkish conflict, or the Fiat-Terni Tripoli born in 1918. We then move on to the legend of the Lancia 1Z, a successful vehicle that was born in the First World War and remained operational until 1945! It was a massive vehicle, entirely of Italian design. To share much of the book we close with the Fiat 611 armoured car built in 1932, as was often the case with Ansaldo at the time, and specifically designed for colonial use. It operated mainly in the A.O.I. together with its older sister Lancia 1Z and fast tanks. Over twenty plates of colour profiles by the author complete this book.

The first Italian armoured cars were used in the war in Libya in 1911-12 against the Ottoman Empire. With few tanks being developed, the Italians relied instead on the development of more mobile armoured cars like the Ansaldo Lancia 1 Z, during World War I, but post-war the army, focusing on the Alpine battlegrounds of Italy's northern borders, did not consider armoured cars suitable for reconnaissance duties. The experience of the Spanish Civil War would provide the much needed last push for the Italians to develop modern armoured cars. The result were the famous AB 41-43 models, which fought against the British in North Africa and Marshall Tito's forces in Yugoslavia, along with other vehicles such as the AS 36 light armoured car. Using detailed colour plates and contemporary photographs, this book examines the development of the Italian armoured car in the two world wars and the inter-war years, from the deserts of North Africa to the slopes of the Alps.

The Italian army, unlike those of the British and French, did not use tanks in combat during World War I and, by November 1918, only one training unit equipped with French Schneider and Renault tanks had been formed. Consequently, during the 1920s the Italian army had just one single tank type in its armoured inventory – the Fiat 3000. Only in 1927 was the first tank unit formed as a branch of the infantry and not as an independent organization, while the cavalry rejected the idea of both tanks and armoured cars and decided to stand by the use of horses for its mounted units. Between 1933 and March 1939, a further 2,724 CV 33 / L 3 tanks were built, 1,216 of which were exported all over the world. By the time Italy entered the war in June 1940, the army had 1,284 light tanks, 855 of which were in combat units, including three armoured divisions. Variants of the CV 33 / L 3 tanks included flame-throwers, bridge-layers, recovery vehicles, and a radio command tank. Some L 3 tanks were still in use in 1945, by both the Germans and the German-allied Italian units of the Repubblica Sociale.

Several factors delayed and greatly hampered the development of an Italian medium tank during World War II. The first was the strategic stance of the country, focussed on a war against neighbouring countries such as France and Yugoslavia, and ill-prepared for a war in the Western Desert. Since these European countries bordered with Italy in mountainous areas, light tanks were preferred as these were deemed much more suitable for the narrow roads and bridges of the Alps. Furthermore, development was hampered by the limited number of Italian industries, whose production was also heavily fragmented. All these factors delayed the development of the first prototype of an Italian medium tank – the M 11 – which would only appear in 1937 and did not enter production until 1939. Although technically inferior to their German and Allied counterparts in 1941–43, the Italian M tanks proved to be quite effective when used by experienced crews with adequate combat tactics. In fact, their major shortcoming actually proved to be their limited production figures. While production was limited, innovation was not and, between 1941 and 1943, several experiments were carried out on the Italian tanks that produced interesting prototypes such as the anti-aircraft semovente.

The armoured cars were a perfect example of the adaptability of the Royal Army's forces in World War II, both the domestically developed models and the improvised versions. They were obviously recovered and redeployed by the forces of the Italian Social Republic after the Armistice of 8 September 1943 with completely new tasks. From the patrols of the vast North African desert areas, the small trucks were employed and transformed for anti-partisan combat, which they performed with not a few limitations. In this book we will analyse the service of the armoured cars with the various units of the Republican National Guard, the Republican National Army and the Wehrmacht troops from September 1945 until April 1945.
