Title: Cant Z506

The Cant Z506 was an Italian three engine floatplane which first flew in 1935. Initially designed as a 14 seat transport a military variant known as the Z506B was developed which served as a reconnaissance aircraft, torpedo bomber and air-sea rescue aircraft. Although a wooden aircraft it proved remarkably robust and was able to handle relatively rough seas.

Over 350 examples of all versions were built, and numerous examples survived the war with some remaining in service until 1959. A single example survives and is exhibited at the Italian Air Force Museum north of Rome.

This title includes the Italian Air Force Maintenance Manual for the Cant Z506, in Italian, along with two nice manufacturer’s brochures. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
