Italian term or phrase: era giunto a terra non guasto

Contesto:

"...Sono sceso là presso e mi son visto precipitarmi addosso una massa di soldati e di ufficiali che gridavano 'Viva l'Italia!' e mi hanno preso, bacciato, portato in trionfo sull'apparcchio nemico.

L'Aviatik abbattuto era guinto a terra non guasto: è bellissimo, grande, con un motore di 200 cavalli,una buona mitragliatrice austriaca a nastri da 125 colpi l'uno e una pistola Mauser.

Molte Grazie,

Barbara
