The type lost a competition for a second level trainer to the Fiat G.49, which in turn was beaten by the T-6 in the end. Only two prototypes were built, this one seeing the light as I-RAIE in 1952. Became I-AMAC, then MM554 of the RSV as it is displayed now in full markings. Showing the very good access to the P&W Wasp engine.

The type was the first all-metal trainer for the AMI, its development heavily dependent on foreign sales. Especially an order from Argentina for 70 aircraft, including this one, made the difference. Later, this airplane served with the Syrian and Austrian forces as well, before returning to Italy as I-AELM with the Air Defence Ministry in 1964. Was restored to taxiing condition and displayed as such in 2007 at Pratica di Mare.

This 'Sparviero' is one of two recovered from Lebanon, the other being on display in the Caproni Museum at Trento. A third one, being restored in Italy, completes the trio of only survivors of the type. A very fast and agile medium (torpedo) bomber, it stems from an early 1930s design for a fast passenger transport. Posing in full WW2 markings of the 278th Torpedo Bombing Squadron as 'MM24327'. Its real identity was L-112 of the Lebanese air force, ex MM45508.

Very manoevrable but too slow to be a fighter even in the mid 1930s, the Ro.41 was most used as a trainer, in single or tandem seating. This one was not wearing any markings yet.

Conceived as a long range civil transport seaplane in 1935, the CANT Z.506 'Airone' gained more fame in its modified version for military use. The last remaining of almost 350 built can be admired right here at its former home base. She was built as a model B for the ASW role and later converted into the S model for SAR duties. Serial not painted on the aircraft.

The only Fiat trimotor still in existence has undergone a thorough restoration at the museum. Ground handling used to be a challenge due to the restricted view over the nose but it had a range of 3000km and service ceiling of 7500m (24600ft).
