The SM.80 amphibious touring aircraft normally had one engine with a tractor propeller. Fiat heir Eduardo Agnelli was apparently killed by the prop of the first example on 14 July 1935. Beautifully displayed at the Volandia museum, the single SM.80bis was built as a four-seater with two pusher Pobjoy engines. It wears the name of one of its owners, Carlo Saglio.
