The Caproni Ca.47 was a variant of the Caproni Ca.46 in the line of Caproni Ca.5 biplane twin-boom bombers. The Ca.47 was a torpedo or bombing seaplane powered by Liberty engines. Ten were completed before the Armistice, but they were too late to see action. [1]
The USA built Ca.47s via the Standard and Fisher body companies.[2]
