Romantic Technofreak 3 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Ciao amici,forgive me not speaking Italian. I happened to find this website:http://lucaboschi.nova100.ilsole24ore.com/2011/04/giovanni-camusso-una-rosa-di-bagdad-per-il-partigiano-pam-di-pier-luigi-gaspa.htmlstating that cartoonist Giovanni Camusso during WWII worked as constuctor for Caproni's.There, you can find this interesting picture of an aircraft snout, which reminds to the Ca.331 Raffica.Well, it looks like this aircraft, but not exactly. It could be an unknown variant or a temporary alteration of the canopy, as a contributor on forum.keypublishing.com supposed (a request there remained unsuccessfull). I can see no type designation or other explanation in the original text.Do you know more? Thank you for every answer!Regards, RT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cripy 1 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi, i think i've got some info on this aircraft. It seems to be a variant of the "Raffica", precisely the Ca.331B, which mounted improved engines, allowing for an higher cruise speed, and presented some others improvements. You can see it in this page, just scroll to the middle: http://alternathistory.org.ua/mnogotselevoi-istrebitel-caproni-bergamasca-ca331-raffica-italiya Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romantic Technofreak 3 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I see, this is the B-version with 20 mm cannons. Thank you Cripy! Regards, RT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
