Another beautiful find in the current Mallams Caproni-related auction is these plans of the unbuilt Ca.211, a three-engined high-wing bomber designed by engineer Caratti. The Ca.211 was related to the also unbuilt Ca.204 project, with which it shared the same basic structure. Both were submitted...

In a topic in the "early projects" section, I've seen a reference to a R-2000 Italian turboprop of WW2 vintage. That mention arouse in me a question: why Italy was the first to actively research some kind of jet engine but at the same time the only great power apparently not having some research...
