Caproni Ca . 71 The Caproni Ca . 71 , originally Ca . 70L , was a two - seat biplane night fighter produced in Italy in 1927 . It was derived from the Caproni Ca . 70 of 1925 . Design . Undaunted by the lack of interest the " Regia Aeronautica " ( Italian Royal Air Force ) had displayed in the Caproni Ca . 70 night fighter after official tests in 1926 , the Caproni company designed a derivative . It was initially designated the Ca . 70L and then redesignated the Ca . 71 . Like the Ca . 70 , the Ca . 71 was designed to ensure good low - speed handling and good visibility from both cockpits , without any of the aircrafts structural elements obstructing the view of either crewman . Its two wings were of unequal span , and it had tailskid landing gear , an unusual feature of which was an oleo - pneumatic shock absorber on the main landing gear which allowed the wheels to travel forward in their linkage while the plane was taxiing . Armament consisted of two fixed forward - firing 7 . 7 - millimeter Vickers machine gun s and a flexible 7 . 7 - millimeter Lewis machine gun on a Scarff ring in the rear cockpit . The Ca . 71 differed from the Ca . 70 in engine installation . The Ca . 70s tractor - mounted Bristol Jupiter engine was replaced by a pusher configuration , and the Ca . 71 was designed to operate with various engines rangng from 298 to 373 kilowatts ( 400 to 500 horsepower ) . The lone Ca . 71 built had a 298 - kW ( 400 - hp ) 12 - cylinder Lorraine - Dietrich Vee - type engine and was slightly heavier than the Ca . 70 , but otherwise was identical to the Ca . 70 . Operational history . The Ca . 71 first flew in 1927 . It was slightly slower and had a slightly lower rate of climb than the Ca . 70 , although its capacity to accommodate a more powerful engine may have allowed it to overcome this . At any rate , the " Regia Aeronautica " had no more interest in procuring the Ca . 71 than it had in the Ca . 70 , and no further examples were built .
