This Museo Volandia is located and makes use of some of the original Caproni buildings. This Ca-18 is the sixth production aircraft, and accepted in March 1914 going on to serve with the 15th Squadriglia in April 1915 as the personal mount of Sub-Lieutenant Ettore Croce. It was initially preserved by the manufacturer, being displayed by the Caproni Museum in both Taliedo (1940) and Vizzola Ticino (1970-1986). It is owned by the Caproni family and recently underwent conservation work at Celin Avio. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
