THE CAPRONI CA 60
THE GREATEST AIRCRAFT THAT EVER FLEW
WHY THE CA 60 IS THE GREATEST AIRCRAFT OF ALL TIME
It was built in 1920 when principles of aircraft design were well known
The test pilot was named Semprini
Despite it's massive size, it was merely a prototype for a 150 seater designed to cross the Atlantic
It had twice the wing area of a B52 bomber
It had eight engines delivering 3200 horsepower, ten times as much as the average passenger aircraft of the time
It had funky bay windows
It looks like something out of Stop the Pigeon
It was completely uncontrollable and nose dived into the lake just after take off
It was "mysteriously" destroyed in a fire while undergoing repairs
