Photo Comment

One of 16 Ro.37s operated by the Afghan Kingdom during 1937-1941. Discovered as a mere wreck at a Kabul scrapyard and flow to Italy by AMI C-130 in 2006. Original identity discovered during restoration, but the MM plate was stolen thereafter... The 'bis' version was an improvement over the original, powered by a radial instead of an inline engine. As exhibited, the type was operated by Italy in Ethiopia.
