Description
The CANT Z.1007 Alcione (Kingfisher) was an Italian three-engined medium bomber, with wooden structure. Designed by head-designer Filippo Zappata of the CANT company. The plane was regarded as one of the best Italian bombers during WWII as it had excellent flying characteristics and good stability, but the wooden structure was easily damaged by the climates experienced in North Africa and Russia.
The primary users of the plane were Italy; both Regia Aeronautica and Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force and the Luftwaffe that operated a handful of captured equipment after Italy would sign the Armistice of Cassibile.
