Nice find Clint!
The French Capronis are end endless problem to me.
Things are not made any easier with author's who should have researched the stuff often resort
to guesswork as I see it.
So time for me to start guessing as well....
It seems to me like the Ca.1 and Ca.3 were ordered in the same number ranges, meaning that if
the numbers built in France (bought in Italy) are correctly given the French built Ca. 1 should be
No 1 - 14
The Ca.3 should thus be
No 15 - 50 (or possibly 59)
The imported Italian Ca.1 and Ca.3 were
No 101 - and up
The imported Italian Ca.5 were
No 501 - and up
The so called Ca.3 No 502 in Soltan/Davilla on page 134 is of course a Ca.5
Since I have yet to see a single French built Ca.5 (as claimed by S/D) is there really any
proof of that?
I am sure you have opinions on my ramblings here Clint. What do you think?
Cheers
