Having much more practical experience, Caproni opts for a twin engine design for its first dedicated jet fighter. Despite its later introduction, this plane wins the approval of both the Italian Air Defense Force and the Marina Militare. It will see mostly land-based service, but it will also be the first Italian jet to land on a carrier. Later variants and developments of the type and design linage will be the first Italian carrier based jet fighters. First flight in mid-late 1945, service adoption in several squadrons early-mid 1946, phased out to training rolls by 1949. Picture is of the MiG-9, of which this aircraft shares a similar layout.
