Re: Cant Z1007bis MM22144 CAI
The only CZ.1007bis lost by the CAI crashed on take off from Frankfurt on 11 january 1941 following engine problems, killing two of the crewmembers and badly injuring the other three. According to the new book "La Regia Aeronautica nella Battaglia di Inghilterra" published in may this year by the Italian Air Force historical Office, the MM was 22148 (and not 22144 as previously stated in various publications).
The crash happened during the withdrawal of the CAI from Belgium. Gianandrea
