Narrative:
The prototype of the giant nine-wing flying boat made its first flight on 4 March 1921 over Lake Maggiore in Italy. The aircraft attained an altitude of only 18 m (60 ft), then dove and crashed, breaking up on impact. The pilot escaped uninjured. Caproni had the wrecked airplane towed to shore, and announced that he would rebuild it, but that night it burned to ashes.
