The FL.3 civilian two-seater first flew in 1939 as a product of Francis Lombardi's firm Avia (Anonima Vercellese Industria Aeronautica), established in Vercelli in 1938. This airframe was built in 1947 as production resumed after the war. The company name then changed to 'Francis Lombardi' as he also made cars. Not on display at the Caproni museum.
