Positive. The two prototypes (C.C.1 and C.C.2) were never shot down or crashed. Actually the C.C.1 might have been destroyed by bombing or something but the C.C.2 lives on in an Italian museum, in perfect condition.
I love the pic though 8)

No look if you can see the back end has been manually dismantled and is being held by a crane...

Why? The C.C.1 was revolutionary. The only jet to fly before it was the He-178.

Thanks for the link. 
Like the opening line says, not everybody knows about this very early jet.

Indeed! 8) I think it says somewhere on that site, or on another site, that Italy didnt find out that the Germans had flown a jet before them until after the war.
It was not a jet. The flames you see were from a ring of fuel nozzles in that section of the fuselage. Heating the air going through the "tube" this increased in speed thus giving more thrust.
Prop was moved by a piston engine.
