Caproni Correspondence

1949-1953 a file of correspondence between Caproni and The Mutual Security Agency relating to a hoped-for revival, post-war, of Caproni aircraft manufacture with offers to supply the F5 jet training aircraft (of which only a prototype was made). The Mutual Security Agency was a replacement of the US Marshall Plan aimed at assisting economic recovery and bolstering European Allies (of which Italy was then one) against the communist threat, as the Cold War developed.

Estimated at £100 - £150
