SOUTHERN DEFENDERS
The Italian Air Force’s Trapani Air Base is home to the 37° Stormo and the 18° Gruppo. It is one of the most important geo-strategic hubs in Europe. With its Eurofighter Typhoon fleet, the air base plays a key role in safeguarding the Mediterranean region. We were granted exclusive access to the base. As soon as you enter the 18° Gruppo’s building you’re immersed in history. The pictures on the walls trace the key milestones of a unit that was established in 1917. The history of the squadron is a bit peculiar; periodically reborn when needs require and disappearing when they end.Words And Photos: Giovanni Colla
