Comments:
Designed and manufactured by Piaggio & Co., in Genoa, Italy (first 72 aircraft) and under license by Focke-Wulf GmbH in Bremen, Germany (194 aircraft), between 1957 and 1960.

Used as a primary trainer by the New German Luftwaffe (training schools WS-10, 30 and 50) into the 1980's. All fighter, fighter-bomber, reconnaissance, and two of the transport wings also received several aircraft for liaison, and communications and instrument training purposes.
