Top answer

I can't see how "itself" fits here. I do not know, however, if its refers to the manufacturer or to Japan.

Note: 200 aircrafts
You also need an article before 'Italian'.

(I see no rationale for 'in itself'.)

Making this order its largest = nonfinite verb + object
Ever = Adverb modifying 'placed'
Order

galaxy28 I'd like to know answr for my sentense"making this order ( its ) largest ever order".
My best guess:

making this order its largest ever order— adverbial non-finite clause.
this order—noun phrase object of verb 'makiing'.
its largest ever order—noun phrase, complement of 'this order'.
ever—adverb modifyi
