The IMAM (Romeo) Ro.43 was the main reconnaissance seaplane of the Italian Regia Marina during World War II. Designed by engineer Alessandro Tonini, the Ro.43 first flew in 1934 and entered frontline service from 1935 to 1943. It was most intensely used in the early years of World War II, both over the Mediterranean Sea and during patrol and reconnaissance operations from shipborne catapults on cruisers and battleships. Although obsolete by the end of the war, this aircraft played a significant role in the struggle for control of the Mediterranean.
