The Caproni monoplanes "Ca 97" Italian
This is an aircraft technical circular from the 1928 NASA Technical Reports Server, a government aeronautics report on the Italian Caproni Ca 97 monoplane, written for engineers and aviation specialists. Its photographs show the finished airplane from front, side and three-quarter views, along with construction shots of its metal framework, tail unit and truss members and a plan drawing of the fuselage. For a designer the pictures offer a clear study of late-1920s aircraft silhouettes, braced wing structure and the lattice geometry of early metal frames.
