                                     Eighty or so Macchi (later dubbed Aermacchi) MB-308s were operated by the Aeronautical
                                     Militaire as trainers and liaison machines.   This pleasing fully cantilevered high wing two- or
                                     three-seater was the main Italian lightplane from 1950 until the mid 1960s, when U.S. types
                                     began to be imported.    A few civilian examples survive.
