    That glazed nose looks like a french Bloch but the cowlings don't look right for a 174 so my guess would be the P&W engined 176.

    I should have recognized that color as italian :eek::eek::eek: the only big gunners I know of from the Regia where the Piaggio 108 "Artigliere" (but it's in the B17 size class so larger than the plane depicted) and the AS 14 derivative of the CMASA RS 14 floatplane that had a glazed nose similar to that shown so it would be my guess. The only pic of the AS 14 I found http://www.aereimilitari.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9344 is so heavily retouched as to be completely unreliable. The 37mm Z1018 was never built AFAIK.

    Oh, I was confused. It was hard to tell. Can you repost a picture of A/C in question?

    The Italians had several aircraft with large cannons. This one has two engines and the builder is still in business today building cars of questionable repute. This should narrow down your search alot plus when you answer the question I will show you the great web page I got it from.

    Now you have me utterly confused, did you notice my mention of FIAT CMASA RS 14 in post #462 ? BTW if it's that you have contributed to setting right a small aviation mistery (see link in post #462 which is apparently from a relative of the plane's pilot).

    Odd looking wing arrangement. Usually they put the short wing on the bottom and the long wing on top.

    Hmm, must be tougher than I thought...

    Hint #1: formerly Regia Aeronautica.
