The Savoia-Marchetti S.74 was a four-engine airliner developed by Savoia-Marchetti for the airline Ala Littoria. Its prototype first flew on 16 November 1934, and only three were ever built. It was powered by four Piaggio Stella radial piston engines and could carry 24 passengers together with baggage and freight. The aircraft flew in passenger service, and on 22 December 1937 one of them broke the speed record over 1,000 kilometres, at 322.089 km/h. When Italy entered the Second World War in 1940 the three were put into service as military transports for the Regia Aeronautica, and none of them survived the war.
