Hello I'm looking for information about an italian pilot whose name is Adamoli and who landed with a Caproni Ca 101 on Ivato airfield January, the 19 th ,1935. I know that after, he flew to South Africa and came back to Europe. Thanks for answer Kings Regards Franck |

I have nothing on Engineer Carlo Adamoli and a Ca 101, but I know that he used a Ca 111 reg I-ACIA and together with a colleague named Bassi and an unnamed flight engineer,started on an African expedition on Oct 19th, 1934 to find berylium mines. Their trip went to Eritrea-Somaliland-Tanganyika-Mozambique-Madagascar and finally Rhodesia (Salisbury). The raid ended in the spring of 1935 after covering some 38000 miles. No mention is made of any visit to South Africa though... I believe your sources are faulty somewhere and that this is both the man and the trip you are after Cheers Stig |

Re: Adamoli and Caproni Ca 101
Hello
and excuse me for not having answered. I had not received e-mail from the forum to say to myself that there was an answer to my post. My source is Mr Urbain FAUREC's book "Sous le tropique du capricorne- pour servir ā l'aviation coloniale" which was published in 1937 in Tananarive Madagascar. I have no others source(spring). If you have one of it, I indeed want to acquaint with it by private message. I would be absent during a week Regards Franck |

Hallo Franck
Sorry that I had to wake you up ![]() Not that I want to detract sources from the 1930's but I think that the booklet about the Italian Capronis are very accurate indeed and that you can rely on what I have written Source: I monoplani Caproni degli anni trenta by Aerofan Cheers Stig |

Thank's a lot for your answer about the source. Is it a book or a magazine? regards Franck |

Re: Adamoli and Caproni Ca 101
Hi Franck
It is what I would call a booklet, a 36 page softcover, special issue from Aerofan, which means it was NOT part of the actual magazine they printed. No publication date listed unfortunately, but I think it is at least 20 years old by now. Very hard to tell ![]() I doubt it is possible to get it from Giorgio, but possibly from a second hand market in Italy. Cheers Stig |

Re: Adamoli and Caproni Ca 101
Hi Franck
Yes I have it and I also hate to be a "bad sport". Since this is a booklet, it means I have to scan it page by page, which, both at home and in my office, would take an awful lot of time. Time that I simply don't pocess. I have to draw the line somewhere, and this is it. I don't scan complete publications. Articles, no problems, since I usually cut magazines and have them stored page by page and have a beautiful scanner at work which scan both front and back page in a jiffy. Quick and easy. I have no problems scanning certain pages from booklets or books, but not complete sets. Sorry B Rgds Stig |

Have you a digital camera? It is easier and faster. You will not damage your brochure. Franck |
