Nicknamed the 'Caproncino', the Ca.100 was a derivative of the D.H. 60 Cirrus Moth. Caproni and four other factories delivered 675 production aircraft as trainers to the Regia Aeronautica. The museum acquired this one in 2007 and displays it in the mid-1930s colours of the basic flying school in Florence.

The Fiat C.R.32 was an outstanding fighter plane design by engineer Celestino Rosatelli and first flew in 1933. Apart from Italian service, it saw world-wide export and at least 100 were license-built in Spain by Hispano Aviación, designated HA-132 'Chirri' (cricket). Being one of those, C.1-328 was donated by Spain in 1955 and initially put on display here as 'MM4666' but restored later to a Spanish civil war livery.

One of 16 Ro.37s operated by the Afghan Kingdom during 1937-1941. Discovered as a mere wreck at a Kabul scrapyard and flow to Italy by AMI C-130 in 2006. Original identity discovered during restoration, but the MM plate was stolen thereafter... The 'bis' version was an improvement over the original, powered by a radial instead of an inline engine. As exhibited, the type was operated by Italy in Ethiopia.

One of the very best biplane (actually sesquiplane) fighters ever, the C.R.42 had to compete in the new monoplane era of WW2. The museum's example is a composite airframe and partly a replica, built using 60% original parts from at least four Swedish aircraft and some other sources. Painted as 'MM5643' it represents a Rhodes-based Falco of the 162a Squadriglia.

In 1950, Macchi procured a construction license for the Fokker S.11. Meant as a basic trainer for the AMI, it was soon surpassed by higher performance aircraft. Most went on to aero clubs, this is the former I-AELY of Aeroclub Firenze. Type written as Ma.416 on the tail.

Fascinating piece of aerospace engineering powered by a motorjet, called thermojet by Campini. A piston engine drives a compressor in a ducted fan-setup (two stages displayed on a stand below the aircraft) and the airflow passes an afterburner, generating extra thrust. Flew as early as 1940 but fell short in performance. Sole surviving complete airframe of two built, the other fuselage is in Milan.

Identity could use confirmation. Plate on the back says the construction number is '6741'. This was never allocated but could be a mix-up of the most likely ID, MM6714. In the museum since 2005 and one of seven F-104S' (partly) preserved or stored as '9-51', of which six in Italy.

Impressive engine but I wish they had put it somewhere else. This aircraft was built as a CL-13 Sabre Mk.4 and served in the RAF, first as XB904, later as XB915. It was transferred to the USAF in Oct 1956 and redesignated to F-86E(M) before being shipped to Italy under MDAP. Flew coded as displayed with the 2°Stormo, 13°Gruppo Autonomo. The Stormo badge is on the tail.

The G-91T advanced jet trainer was based on the G-91R and gained both length and wingspan on the original. It maintained the single-seater's characteristics and kept an acceptable range. MM6344 actually flew as SA-44 with the Scuola Volo Basico Avanzato Aviogetti at Amendola.

The G.91Y was considerably superior to the earlier versions in almost every aspect. The most noticeable difference are the two J85 engines that replaced the single Bristol Orpheus but there were many more improvements. This one flew for many years with the 101°Gruppo CBR/8°Stormo, of which it displays the symbols on nose and tail respectively.
