| The only other hint i have as to what it is.
"This one was sort of famous in it's day, more for what it was going to do than what it ever did. It was a big one at that time in aviation history." | |

Country:  | I think it might be one of Caproni's planes. Not quote me on this, it's just my initial feeling on it. | |

| The hull looks to be an actual boat, complete with bowsprit, for cryin' out loud! One thing for sure, the guy who designed that hull wasn't responsible for wiring those tin can wing floats out there! Nice V-8 engine, though: note the single pushrod-rocker arm assembly for both valves, a common practice back then. It has an Italian air about it, somehow. | |
