The CRDA Cant Z 1014 was the winning bidder for the Italian Long Range Bomber contest. Five prototypes were to be built, but for financial reasons, the production never came its way. The project was taken over by Piaggio, which had classified second with the offering of its P 108 at a cost of 50% less than those of the Cant Z 1014. It’s important to remark that the final P.108 production cost was exactly the same as the proposed for the CANT Z.1014.
