Photo Comment

Two-seat racer designed for the October 1934 London - Melbourne race, to be flown by Francis Lombardi and Vittori Suster. Registered I-TALY in September 1934 with race number 69, it apparently still had not flown by then, and failed to make it to the start at Mildenhall. Reportedly the PL.3 was scrapped after some test flights by the military. CAB stood for Cantieri Aeronautici Bergamaschi. From 1929, this manufacturer from Bergamo was a subsidiary of Caproni and from 1938, the abbreviation stood for Caproni Aeronautica Bergamasca. Photo from: Dan Shumaker collection
