Another beautiful find in the current Mallams Caproni-related auction is these plans of the unbuilt Ca.211, a three-engined high-wing bomber designed by engineer Caratti.
The Ca.211 was related to the also unbuilt Ca.204 project, with which it shared the same basic structure. Both were submitted...
The twin-boom Caproni Ca.150 was an attack-fighter ordered in 1936 but subsequently cancelled.
