OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Piaggio P.50 was an Italian prototype heavy bomber designed and built by Piaggio for the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force). The P.50 was the first design by Giovanni Casiraghi -- following an outline for the project laid out by Piaggio designer Ing Giovanni Pegna -- for the Piaggio company. The first model, the P.50-I, was a four-engine shoulder-wing monoplane with a single large tail fin and rudder. It was powered by four 544-kilowatt (730-horsepower) Isotta-Fraschini Asso XI.RC V12 engines mounted in tandem pairs on the wings, with each engine driving one three-bladed propeller; two of the propellers were mounted in a pusher and two in a tractor configuration. For defense, the P.50-I had three machine gun positions, including a nose turret.
