Macchi M.C.99

The Macchi M.C.99 was designed by Mario Castoldi as a military flying boat and had a resemblance to the earlier commercial M.C.94 and was a wooden twin-engined shoulder-wing cantilever monoplane flying boat. Constructed mainly of wood, it was a high-wing cantilever monoplane flying boat. With a crew of five, it had an enclosed cabin and had defensive gun positions in the bow, amidships and in the tail. The prototype and only M.C.99 was powered by two 890 kilowatts (1,190 hp) Isotta-Fraschini Asso XI R.2C.15 engines strut-mounted above the wings. Briefly flown in 1937 it did not enter production.
