They were nominally bombers. The Spanish government tried to buy them on a number of occasions.

Before I saw this, I didn't know the manufacturer ever made military aeroplanes.
A vast majority of their production is small civil types. They were founded in 1927, and are still in business but not making complete planes.

Yep.

lt doesn't mention the model. I suspect it is the 28-90, but that was pretty much the same as the 28-70.

Thanks for spoon feeding me on that one, I ad forgotten about that design, but I always liked it. And most of Giussepe's other designs as well

Exactly, the 20mm gun barrel tip gives it away. Shoulda gone with my gut and answered right away, but held back fearing it would sound stupid... <sigh>

And I'm offended that some might be offended.

Merry Christmas Terry!

No-one is offended except redneck/gammon snowflakes, who make up things to be offended about, and which don't exist.
