Re: Photo Pomilio Aircraft

Whatever it is, it is no standard PC, not with those two slanted radiators.
Basically both the PC and PD models used the Fiat A.12 of 200hp while the PE model was the first to use the Fiat A.12bis said in my sources to have been 260hp. Normally the PC and PD also seems to have used some kind of nose radiator and not any of those shown in the photo.

Is is very difficult for me to say which engine this really is, but with the use of these radiators it must either be a "one off" or an experimental aircraft either testing a new engine or testing a new radiator design.

With rather few PC models built and a serial number within its known range it feels like it is a standard PC used for testing.

Cheers
Stig
