Ca 133

Caproni 133 was a multi-role aircraft of first '30. It was used for transport (both military and civil), bombing, and airlink purposes. Crews loved him for his reliability, stoutness and first of all for his STOL skills. In WWII was useless for combat duties, but where it had to face enemy aircrafts of his generation, like Gladiators or Wellelsleys or Hawkers Fury in Eastern Africa, it carried out bombing and ground attack missions with success. In the other fronts, even if belated, Ca 133 remained an appreciated aircraft for transport and airlink purposes. In the pre-war photo, an unarmed version. In the background a training aircraft, perhaps a Ro 41.
