The Piaggio P.148 is an Italian two-seat primary and aerobatic training monoplane of the 1950s, designed and built by Piaggio Aero. It is an all-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel landing gear and seats two side by side, with room for an optional third occupant. The prototype first flew on 12 February 1951, and after testing by the Italian Air Force it went into production for the air force primary training schools. The Italian Air Force operated 70 from 1951. Jet-only training led to the type being withdrawn, but in 1970 it returned when basic piston-engine aircraft regained a role in selecting pilots, and some were sold to the Somali Air Corps. The four-seat P.149 was developed from it.
