1934 Meridionali Ro.37?

Hi Martin

Sorry, its not too clear from the silhouette. Yes those are indeed windows within the fuselage immediately aft of the lower wing.

1937 I.A.R. 37 through 39, then?

Edit to say, that it looks mostly like 37.

STOL? Sort of. The big idea was to operate from unimproved airstrips at hot and high altitudes.

Big idea implies it never came to fulfilment....was this actually built?

Hot and high altitude. Where would you have that to justify an aircraft project which is not a bit Russian? Chilean, Argentine, or Peruvian? French for Algeria? India?

Yes, one aircraft was built and it flew, very briefly. It was not built nor designed in any of the countries mentioned.
