D'Arici, 1910, Les dirigeables militaires italiens
Notes the formation of an Italian aerial brigade in 1903; credits the aerodynamics research of Gaetano Arturo Crocco, which is compared to the work conducted at Chalais-Meudon. Refers to French publications of Crocco's results ( in Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des sciences, 26 December 1904; "La dynamique des aérostats dirigeables", translated by captain Saconney, Paris, Berger-Levrault; Revue du génie militaire, Aug-Oct 1907). Other Italian developments and comparisons/interactions with French innovation.
Crocco & Ricaldoni establish testing grounds at Lake Bracciano, eventually leading to construction of 'Italian military dirigible no. 1': a raindrop-shaped gas balloon with ballonet. [Italian literature seems to refer to this as N.1 so we'll go with that for now.][1]
