Caproni Ca. 31?
If this is correct then I think I can claim a first tonight.
(i.e Aerodrome, Silhouette and Cockpit challenges all correctly answered at the same time by one individual .)

Can I also note the direct drive Gnome Rhone engines to the Caproni Ca. 31???
This supports confirms the military designation of Ca.1
Three out of three????

Thanks Bri,
Infinite number of Monkeys , infinite number of typewriters !
It just happened that this Monkey was on his typewriter at the time.
Surprisingly, this Cockpit is not on the list as far as I could tell.............
Should go down faster than the other two challenges ,

I would actually have gone for Sycamore's choice on first viewing and Aviate's Tu-2 is logical.
However it is apparently a Dornier 17
Well done stevef ,
You have control.

It is a Caproni Ca.3, which was powered by three engines -two tractors on the wings, with a pusher at the back of the crew nacelle.
I think you will find RETDPI is more correct. The Ca.3 had Isotta-Fraschini motors in the booms, but the photo shows cowled Gnomes...=Ca.1 ..

Yes, you are probably correct. I too have seen a photo of a half-cowled Ca.1 Curiously, the original photo was captioned "CA.300".
