The G.212 - the last trimotor before the trijets. I-ELCE crashed into the embankment of the Basilica of Superga church on a hill outside Turin on 4 May 1949. On board was Torino FC, returning from a match in Lisbon. All four crew and 31 passengers were killed, including 18 players. Torino were the top Italian side of the era, and largely made up the Italian national team. The club still won the 1948-1949 Serie A title, but never recovered from this air disaster, and was overtaken in Turin by Juventus. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich
