Antonio Amantea
Sottotenente Antonio Amantea was a World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories. He lived to become the last surviving Italian ace of the war.〔(''The Aerodrome'' ) Retrieved on 31 May 2010.〕
==World War I service==
Amantea was working as an electrician when he was conscripted into Italian military in September 1914. He volunteered for aviation. A year later, on 1 September 1915, ''Sergente'' Amantea pinned on his wings. His first assignment was to fly artillery spotting missions in a Caudron G-3 on the Isonzo front. He flew 173 combat sorties over the next few months before being picked for fighter training in February 1917. In late March, he returned to action as a member of ''71a Squadriglia'', flying over the Asiago plateau.〔Varriale 2009, pp. 14-15.〕
On 2 August 1917, he scored his first confirmed victory, although he had to break off his attack because of a bum magneto and sputtering engine and crashland his own plane. He submitted a claim for the 23rd that went unverified. However, he had better luck the next day, sharing a confirmed win over an Albatros D.III with Antonio Riva but not having a solo second victory confirmed.〔 In December 1917, he upgraded to piloting a Spad VII. By the time he ended his triumphant string on 3 May 1918,〔 he had posted nine victory claims〔 to have five confirmed under the stringent rules used by the Italians.〔
