The Caproni Ca.100 was the standard trainer aircraft of the Regia Aeronautica in the 1930s and some 700 examples of this tandem, two-seat, biplane were built. This plane was originally built with landing gear but later converted into a seaplane. After being SOC it became I-DISC but retired after after an incident in 1964. The plane was denated to the museum in 1970.

Delivered in 1956 to the Italian Air Force, it operated with the 3rd Aerobrigata, that was the former 3° Stormo. Sources quote that this was the last Thunderflash that made a flight in Italy before being withdrawn from use. It was initialli preserved at Ghedi AB; then for some years in Bresso (Milano), where it was nicely restored; finally at Cameri AB.

Nicknamed "Piaggione" by pilots, crews and aviation enthusiasts, this is an initial airframe that was displayed at the small aircraft collection of the Cameri AB. It was assigned to the 653 Squadriglia Collegamenti (Liason unit) of the 53° Stormo before being withdrawn from use in the mid 80s. It was then replaced in the static display of preserved aircraft by another P-166M of the same unit: MM 61927 coded 53-34.

This was the second Italian prototype (or 9th pre-series airframe) and the painting below the cockpit traces the hundreds flights, and its last flight on April, 17th 1986. The aircraft was preserved for years in Cameri in its original livery, then used for static display also at fairs in different fake grey liveries and also fake serial numbers! The following stickers can be recognized on the fuselage: MFG2, 311 Gruppo of RSV, Black Panthers of 155 Gruppo, Red Flash of 101 Gruppo and White Horse of 4 Stormo. Of these, only MFG2, RSV and 155 Gruppo really flew a Tornado

This was the second Italian prototype (or 9th pre-series airframe) and the painting below the cockpit traces the hundreds flights, and its last flight on April, 17th 1986. The aircraft was preserved for years in Cameri in its original livery, then used for static display also at fairs in different fake grey liveries and also fake serial numbers! The following stickers can be recognized on the fuselage: MFG2, 311 Gruppo of RSV, Black Panthers of 155 Gruppo, Red Flash of 101 Gruppo and White Horse of 4 Stormo. Of these, only MFG2, RSV and 155 Gruppo really flew a Tornado

The first Santa Maria, MM45043, flew from Italy to New Orleans via Brazil but burnt in Arizona. This replacement aircraft was shipped to New York and headed north to Boston on 8 May 1927. But this was merely a test flight or a gesture to the Italian community in Boston, for Francesco de Pinedo did not skip the stretch between New Orleans and New York. He flew back south along the coast to New Orleans, and then to Chicago via the Mississippi, rather than via the US west coast as originally planned. Then he flew back to Europe via Newfoundland and the Azores. Photo by: Leslie Jones / Boston Public Library
