Campini Caproni - The History and the Technical Development of the First Italian Jet Aircraft

The book is based on all the information contained in the archives of the engineer Campini. Thanks to the heirs who kindly allowed the authors to consult the material. Generously filled with precious antique photos, several were even drawn from Campini's archives. At the back there are appendixes dealing with the technical aspect of the project.

Robero Bettiolo and Giancarlo Marcozzi, both engineers and keen of aviation history, dedicated over twenty years to the study of the Campini Caproni, resulting in the most famous research on the subject.

Gianni Caproni - Una storia italiana

He not only made airplanes fly but also realized dreams. Gianni Caproni, the most ingenious figure in the 20th-century saga of conquering the skies, has so far remained somewhat hidden behind the allure of his extraordinary aircraft, which still hold unbeaten records and technological milestones.

This book brings to the forefront the humanity of a multifaceted figure, an artist before an engineer, a pacifist forced to create deadly weapons, a nature lover dedicated to industrial progress, an idealistic patriot who sought to break down the world's borders.

Immersed in the history of the 20th century, in direct contact with its protagonists from Mussolini to Churchill, from D'Annunzio to Eisenhower, yet very relevant in the trajectory of the first true "global" empire, stretching from the province of Varese to Asia and North and South America, but ultimately crushed by a crisis with profound similarities to those fatal to many Italian enterprises.
From the Dolomites to the Andes, passing through Malpensa. From kites to jets, encompassing painting and cinema.

Text in Italian.
