I just uploaded it. It's a very kind lady. When the P.23R was impressed by the Regia Aeronautica it gained a new designation as the P.123.
During 1942 some handicaped and devious mind seriously considered it as a potential "America Bomber" for a single hit run over New York with no return possibility (the crew should be rescued in open sea by Italian ocean going submarine). The declared payload was 4,500 Kg, but for New York bomb run should be less (around 1,000 Kg). I add a "what if" Brazilian version as a bonus.

Cheers

Pepe

Interesting and unique aircraft.

Thanks, Pepe.

Thanks Pepi! She ought to make for some interesting "what if" missions in the MTO or perhaps over Britain.

I would love an attack mission against an American aircraft carrier in New York docks...
