History
A few weeks after the start of WWI, Germany was advancing rapidly through Europe because of its powerful army, France and United Kingdom were losing so they sent 2 contractors to Italy to design a bomber with a large load capacity of 50 kg to 25 kg bombs and powerful engines, at that time the Italian engines were the most powerful so the Derrelli brand accepted.
The president of Italy was also interested in this project and decided to help the allied side, the aircraft were distributed quickly thus completing the batch of 15 aircraft for France, 10 for United Kingdom and 17 for Italy, this bomber was a key piece to win the war against Germany.
