Norwegian Caproni captured

German Luftwaffe’s airmen watching one Norwegian reconnaissance aircraft captured intact on Sola air base after the Norway’s surrender. The aircraft is one of four Caproni Ca.310 Libeccio purchased in Italy on June 1938 and delivered on October of same year to Hærens Flyvevesen, the Norwegian Army Air Service. The aircraft, military code 501, 503, 505, 507, was deployed on Lillestrom airfield. At the date of German attack, April 1940, the Ca.310s was at Sola, but their involvement in the war operations was very limited, one or two sorties. Victor Sierra
