Ca.313
Light Reconnaissance Bomber
Caproni
 Caproni Ca.313 was a further development of its predecessors by installing new Isotta-Fraschini Delta RC.35 engines, which made it possible to improve flight characteristics. The first flight of the prototype took place in August 1939, following the results of military tests, the aircraft was immediately put into service.
The first series of aircraft received the designation Ca.313 R.P.B.1, the second series, Ca.313 R.P.B.2, featured a modified large-glazed cockpit (see top photo) for better visibility. By April 1941, the aircraft began to arrive at the flight units of Regia Aeronautica.
A total of 211 aircraft of various modifications were produced.
