The Ba.42 was a more powerful derivative of the Ba.39 with a Fiat A.70 radial. Two examples were built for the 1934 Challenge International de Tourisme, I-GOGA and I-OMBO, with the latter reg presumably chosen for pilot Ambrogio Colombo. Both Ba..42s and two Ba.39S aircraft took part in the Challenge but none of them made it back to Warsaw, Colombo crash-landing his plane near Arnsberg with a broken engine mounting. Apparently the aircraft was repaired to become I-RANA. Military serial MM262 is also worn. Photo from: Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe
