Developed in late 1916, the Caproni Ca.3 biplane bomber used the same airframe and landing gear as its predecessors, the Ca.1 and Ca.2. With more powerful engines, improved performance and increased bomb capacity, the Ca.3 bomber series was produced in large numbers and remained in service until the end of the war. In 1918 it was joined at the front by the Caproni Ca.4 series. |
