Caproni
was an Italian aircraft manufacturer
founded in 1908 by Giovanni Battista
"Gianni" Caproni. It was initially
named, from 1911,
Società
de Agostini e Caproni,
then
Società
Caproni e Comitti.
Caproni made the first aircraft of
Italian construction in 1911. The
manufacturing facilities were based
in Taliedo, a peripheral district of
Milan.
During
World War I, Caproni developed a
series of successful heavy bombers,
used by the Italian, French, British
and US air forces. Between the world
wars, Caproni evolved into a large
syndicate named
Società
Italiana Caproni, Milano,
which bought some smaller
manufacturers. The main subdivisions
were Caproni Bergamasca, Caproni
Vizzola, Reggiane and engine
manufacturer Isotta-Fraschini.
Between the
world wars, Caproni produced mostly
bombers and light transport planes.
The Società Italiana Caproni ceased
to exist in 1950, although one of
its divisions, Caproni Vizzola
endured until 1983 when it was
bought by Agusta.
