Fiat RS.14 Squadron Insignia

[gary martin]

I thought some members might be interested in seeing these. Right & left squadron Insignia from a Fiat CMASA RS.14 seaplane, 170th squadriglia, out of Augusta, Sicily. My grandfather, a Merchant Marine Capt, presumeably while anchored in harbour, rowed out and cut these off a partially submerged plane. No examples of this elegant plane survived the war, and I have spoke to several museums in Italy who say these are the only known examples.

With the guy above. A beautiful looking aircraft that I have only just now heard of. To save others the Google search...

Here is the backside of the one with the red triangle - not sure if that is port or starboard.
