Ah, ah, but what you REALLY want are REAL airplanes ;DJust after the war Agusta employed a score of very famous designers. Mario Castoldi designed for them the AC.208 (since the last Macchi project by Castoldi was the MC-207, as you probably know), an advanced trainer with an Isotta Fraschini Delta and a triangular intake for the radiator under the propeller axis. It was presented in Milan at the Fiera Campionaria in 1950 in model form (that model still exists in glorious shape under the eyes of a lot of people who do not know what they are seeing... : 8) ) . Ing. Ermenegildo Preti designed the AP.100, a two engine tourism plane, exposed in model form alongside the Castoldi design. Preti also modified his P.110, a single engine tourism plane in the AP.111, which was tendered to the Aeronautica Militare as basic trainer but was beaten by the Piaggio P.148 and the Macchi M.416 (licensed version of a Fokker type) Nothing came of these projects. Then in 1951 Ing. Zappata came in Agusta from Breda and the things started to be interesting...
