Historical background

The Caproni Ca.311 was a reconnaissance and light bomber aircraft produced in Italy from 1939 to 1945, widely used during World War II. The aircraft, featuring a distinctive glazed cockpit, significantly improved the observational capabilities of Italian crews. It played its largest role on the North African and Mediterranean fronts. The Caproni Ca.311 was also exported to other countries (including Yugoslavia) and was used for training purposes even after the war. The upgrade to the 311M version included construction changes, such as new equipment and improved aerodynamics.
