While surfing the net for info on a couple of other a/c, I found a side view of the P.108C here in this thread. http://warbirdsforum.com/showthread.php?t=2975 It looks like a DC-4. I Googled the a/c & most of what I found was the 108C was a transport version of the basic P.108, which I already...
Having started this discussion in Re 2000 topic, I decided to realize a profile of the Caproni Ca-313 in RAF 1940 camouflage.
The camo is based upon that one standard for Blenheim Mk1 supposing that RAF would utilize the Caproni in the same role of light bomber/recce.
In this case I suppose...

Experimental heavy tank having to replace P.26/40. If an pre-order of 150 specimens were contracted, Armistice was signed without only prototype is finished. The models of P.43 showed its affiliation with P.26/40 without any doubt. The tank weighed approximately 30 tons, was propelled by an...
Hi guys,
I came across this reference to a project being developed by helicopter pioneer Corradino D`ascanio:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproni_Campini_Ca.183bis
It relates to a desire to employ a BMW 003 turbojet into an helicopter before WW2 ended. Does anyone could come up with more on...
Many years ago I read about SWATH being the ideal hull form for future naval ships because of their superior seakeeping ability to monohulls. There stability made them ideal for carriers according to an article I read in Proceedings of the American Naval Institute.

I've found out, at www.chandelle.net, these two drawings about Caproni's fighter project.

Dear Folks,
I've found out some interesting information about a lanucher glider project which roughly resembles German studies about the so-called "Mistel" combination (even if also Germans, Russians and English has conducted a lot of experimentations with parasite concepts during '30s).

The projects drawn by Filippo Zappata, famous Italian designer known for the CANT Z 10XX and 5XX series, while working at Breda (circa 1942-1950) are one of the major problems of Italian aviation history.
Breda archives were utterly destroyed when the aviation branch of the company went...
Sometimes projects make themselves discovered in very unlikely places. Last Friday I was in Rome at the Italian Air Force historical archives doing research for my book. On the same table there was my friend Paolo Miana looking for infos on the Italian giant bombers of late 20s -early 30s...
