Biography
Italian World War I fighter pilot, seaplane air racer of the 1920s, and test pilot of early Italian experimental jets. He set the world seaplane speed record of 396 kmph (246 mph) on 13 November 1926. Four days later, on 17 November 1926, he broke his own record, attaining a speed in the same M.39 of 416 km per hour (258 mph) over a circuit of 3 km (1.9 mi) at Hampton Roads.
On 8 April 1959 de Bernardi went to a Rome airport to see a German light plane demonstration, and flew his own light plane, showing off his aerobatic skills. While in the air, he began to experience a heart attack. He managed to land the aircraft, only to die minutes later at the age of 65.
