Breda BA.88?

[Cicero77]

yeah, could be the rear end of a breda BA 88. but u can also see a damaged propeller headed to the rear direction which is a little confusing. so its either another crashed plane or the bredas prop is bent backward in a quite strange way.

[RBWhite]

Is it an early version of the Caproni Campini reaction driven flight aircraft.

That could explain the visable propeller and engine.

[Terminus]

With twin horizontal stabilisers?

[RBWhite]

You never know, look at some of the aircraft they built.

[Terminus]

Well yeah, but look at the size of the guy in the picture; the Caproni Campinis were quite small, weren't they?

[RBWhite]

From what I can tell from what information I have the CC N.1 & the CC.2 were as large and in some dimensions lager than the Breda BA.88 but about 1500 lbs lighter.

But that plane is neither, but if thats a pusher prop, could be CC.

[Terminus]

That propeller doesn't look like it's attached to that airframe...

[RBWhite]

It does appear the engine is inside the fuselage, or through it.


Found some odd info on the Breda BA.88. After November 1940 the plane was considered a total failure, stripped of all useful part and position at scattered operational airfields as decoys against the RAF.

[Terminus]

I think it's pretty clearly a BA.88. That bent propeller just seems to be lying there...

[RBWhite]

How about a Fiat BR-20 Cicogna

[CapnDarwin]

I agree with RB on this one. The engine is from some other plane I would guess since all the photos show the BR-20 with 3 bladed props.

[Brady]

Fiat BR-20, it is[:)]
