Registered to Renzo Ceschina, a Milanese industrialist. The FN.305 was produced mainly as a military advanced trainer and liaison aircraft, with export customers including France, Hungary and Romania. As the sign points out, the landing gear was retractable. Photo from: Fondazione Fiera Milano

Only two prototypes were built of the Go 149, a fighter trainer which, like the Fw 56 Stösser, was single-seat. It was also proposed as a light home defence fighter or light attack aircraft, and here the sign in Italian tries to sell it as a 'fast touring and training aircraft'.

The BR.20 bomber was already fighting with the Aviazione Legionaria in the Spanish Civil War at this point. It was considered very modern, and exported to Japan, but the limited output of Italian engines meant that the trimotor Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 was eventually more succesful. On the right is I-EION, a Fiat G.18V airliner. D-ADAA is a Junkers Ju 86 bomber. Photo from: Fondazione Fiera Milano
