In the Summer of 1940, 100 Ju 87B-1s many of
them ex-Luftwaffe aircraft,were turned over to the Italians.

They were operated by several units
96 Gruppo Bombardamento a Tuffo, 101 and 102
Bombardamento, and flew missions against Allied convoys in the Mediterranean, Malta
and supported Axis troops on North Africa.

Italians also operated the Junkers Ju 87Ds
aircraft were operated from April 1934 to the
collapes of Italy in September 1943.
The Regia Aeronautica received the Ju 87s from Luftwaffe inventory, some of the the Stuka's were stationed at Sardinia, several squadrons were assigned to operate the aircraft.

Italian Ju 87s flew in original Luftwaffe camouflage, the German markings were painted out, and replaced with Italian markings and codes. At the time of Italy's surrender in September 1943 the Regia Areonautica had about Seven Hundred and Fifty aircraft left
fighters, fighter-bombers, bombers, transports and trainers that were serviceable
