Fiat BRG

The Fiat BRG was an Italian heavy bomber prototype built by Fiat for the Italian Air Force. The BRG ("Bombardiere Rosatelli Gigante", "Giant Rosatelli Bomber") was a three-engine strut-braced high-wing monoplane. It had a deep slab-sided fuselage with one engine in the nose and two strut-mounted engines between the upper wing and a short stub wing attached to the lower fuselage. The BRG had a single fin and rudder and a wide-track landing gear. The pilot and co-pilot had a cabin forward of the wing leading edge. The aircraft was fitted with four machine guns, located in an open dorsal cockpit and a ventral tunnel. After testing in 1931 the prototype BRG was attached to 62 "Squadriglia" SPB, an experimental heavy bomber squadron.
