Hi Ken!

Are those windows alongside the observer's position, within the fuselage?

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.

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

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.
