MikeRL411 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I have a set of Italian Air Force lithographs that depict several "unique" aircraft. This tops even the weird Italian planes. That being said, the series most sane picture was of the "Three Blind Mice" bomber that Mussolini's son used to win the Rome to New York speed record. Rumor has it that he didn't even remove the machine guns. Too large to fit into a scanner so no attachment of this or any other Italian planes Quote Link to comment

I would have to say, not being any kind of aircraft historian, the some of those Italian planes really "hurt" the eyes! LOL NOTE: You've seen the BAT Aero Alfa Romeos, right? The one is supposed to have a drag coef or 0.19 (!) Quote Link to comment

Wow, never thought there would be a thread like that here (!) Looked at Page 1 and oh so many pics gone because of 3rd party hosting (and of course the Evil Photobucket.) I'll put a pic there although I shudder to think what sort of port would relate to the Stipa (!) 1 Quote Link to comment
