It's a Piaggio P.7 and was built during the years of speed records using floatplanes. The Piaggio tried to use a hydrofoil effect to eliminate the extra weight and drag of floats. So it had a water-prop and clutch system...with the water-prop pushing the plane up on it's hydrafoils, the main-prop was engaged and would (in theory) take off.
While it's speed and ability to rise up on it's hydrofoils proved impressive in the water, it never actually flew.
I think so to Karl. I found another, a Douglas T-2D1.
