Fert,

It looks like a great book, do they have a ISBN number or can you tell me where I can order one?


Regards,

If it is not focused only on the development processes but includes indeed drawings of the various Italian bombs of the period, together with their relevant data (dimensions, weights and such) it's worth it. It's a subject upon which documentation is scarce, to say the least.
 
I finally succeeded to find a way to order this book (After understanding that the Ufficio Storico was still, let's say, "a little backwards" concerning orders from foreign customers) - through tuttastoria.it - they are very efficient, accept credit cards and send their books for customers out of Italy through m-bag, a very convenient and safe way for postal parcels delivery (at least for books).
This book is a real jewel, and includes lot of original drawings and details. AND, as a bonus, includes a full chapter on Austro-Hungarian ww1 aerial bombs including drawings and photos. Highly recommended!
