I-DALE Fiat G.18L
(c/n 99)
Judging by the configuration of this aircraft - i.e. the
extremely long nose and large, set back
tail wheel undercarriage, I
would say that this machine was a real bitch to land smoothly. It
probably floated like
a leaf. In the event the Fiats were only used for a
couple of years and
were replaced by
Savioa-Marchetti SM.95s, Avro Lancastrians and later on, DC-4s.
