MACCHI SEAPLANES.

The Macci Company is one of the most expert seaplane construction companies in the world. The design, craftsmanship, and performance of their product are excellent.

The engineers of the Macchi Company are now studying a new, bi-motored, torpedo carrying seaplane for the Italian Navy. No definite information could be secured in reference to this model other than that it would have the conventional Warren wing truss used by the Macchi Company and the parabolic, concave vee bottom that characteristics all thier machines. The motor mount will be of the truss type and it will have a nose radiator.

Their last new machine was the Macchi 19, or M-19,as it is familiarly called. This was a biplane seaplane powered with a 700 Flat motor.

The Macchi seaplane company has a very interesting little two-seater sport type seaplane, powered with a three cylinder Anzani engine of 30 horsepower.
