we can hope, but the text accompanying the drawings says altho it 
performed well at the military trials, it was never accepted, ordered, 
or purchased.  so it is unfortunately unlikely to be included in the 
aerei del regio esercito.

some good italian museums must have some records, eh?  i wonder what 
rand mcnally/ angelucci y matricardi's sources were?

i think this is the first time ever that google has given me not a 
single thing on an aeroplane.  :(
