History:
Developed as a four-seat, tricycle-gear version of Piaggio’s two-seat tailwheel P.148 trainer in service with the Italian Air Force, the future of the P.149 as a civil trainer and touring airplane looked somewhat bleak until the Luftwaffe purchased 72 of them in 1956 for use as their standard basic trainer. Following a license agreement with Focke-Wulf, 190 more P.149s were then built by the well-known German manufacturer. Most of these went to the Luftwaffe, but a few ended up in civilian ownership, and five were purchased by Swissair for ab initio pilot training.
