He takes no chances. Every aircraft is a Caproni, such as Caproni SP.2, Caproni SVA and so on. Wonder how he managed to make every photo so lousy? Cheers Stig |
Re: Photos Italian WW.I Aircraft
And all 14 Squadriglia too:).
But the significant photo is I think the S.P.2 4391 as it contradicts the information in Gregory Alegi's WDF 128. Regards, Clint |

Looking at p.38 of WDF 128, it seems the production was not as straightforward after all....perhaps more mixed? Cheers Stig |
Re: Photos Italian WW.I Aircraft
HiStig,
I wonder if the batch 4339 to 4439 was not to some point composed completely of S.P.2. Gregory Alegi himself states on P.6 that a handwritten note proclaims 4388 was the last S.P.2,but that the first identified S.P.3 was 4422. Certainly the photo of 4401 on P.7 also looks like a S.P.2.So going on Alergi's own work and the photos we appear to have 4339 to at least 4401 as S.P.2.Other photos and text support this,though I'd like to have more information,before saying this is definitely the case. Certainly the table on P.40 with the whole batch as S.P.3 does not stand up. Speaking of more information, have you ordered the Gentili book yet and if so,how does it stand up for new content in general and new photos in particular? Regards, Clint |
Re: Photos Italian WW.I Aircraft
Hi Clint
There are some unfortunate printing errors in WDF 128 On page 38 the ordered production of 700 SP.2 and SP.3 becomes 800 when split between the various manufacturers The listed 300 SP.3 built by SIA must thus read 200. The table on page 40 line four should read 4339 - 4438 SP.2 built by SIA. Cheers Stig |
Re: Photos Italian WW.I Aircraft
Thanks Stig,
Yes, makes sense. The table would then reflect the information on P.38.But the info on P.6 would still appear to contradict both. I believe that his infomation that the first known S.P.3 of this batch was 4422 comes from Gentili & Varriale I Reparti,so hopefully further information in the new series. Regards, Clint |
