Design and development
The Ca.313 was designed by Cesare Pallavicino. The [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] first flew on 22 December 1939.
It was developed as a replacement of the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
To save development time, the first Ca.313 was simply a modified Ca.310 with new engines.
The final Ca.313 design was similar to the Ca.311 with [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
These engines, IF Delta RC 35 inverted V-12s, had a smaller frontal profile than the Piaggio P.VII C.35 [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] they replaced.
Due to the resulting lower [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], the Ca.313 was capable of more speed for the same power.
Given the fact that 626 kW (840 hp) Fiat A.38 radial engines were needed for front-line [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], there was no other choice for this aircraft.

The Ca.313 had a glassed-in nose, similar to the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
This Caprioni, with its characteristic 'Z' hubs, engines mounted in the wings and retractable [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], was of mixed construction, i.e. metal in the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and wood in the wings.
Bomb load and defensive armament were typical of the time. The aircraft could carry 400 kg (880 lb) of bombs.
Three 7.7 mm (0.303 in) Breda (or Scotti) [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] were fitted - one in the left wing, one in a dorsal [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and one in the ventral position.
The main customer was the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] (Italian Air Force), but many aircraft were sold to other countries.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] ordered 200 machines and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] 300.
Only five Ca.313F units were delivered before Italy's entry into [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].

Operational history
The aircraft served mainly with Italy, in the light [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] roles.
Swedish Air Force designations were B 16, S 16, T 16, and Tp 16.
Despite having a similar payload, armament and speed to the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], its performance was substantially
inferior.
The outbreak of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] greatly affected [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]'s military buildup, as the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] stopped deliveries of hundreds of new US
aircraft to Sweden (among them 60 [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and 144 [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]).
Only 62 other airplanes had been delivered before the embargo took effect.
To complete its war preparations, Sweden searched for other sources, eventually ordering 84 of the Caproni Ca.313S, 72 of the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], and 60 of the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], an order totaling some 90 million crowns.

Re: Caproni Ca.313
The aircraft were delivered between 1940 and 1941. Between 1940 and 1943, there were 23 fatal accidents at the three air force bases (F 3, [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and F 11) that operated them.
Three more were shot down by [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] fighters, on 18 and 23 May 1944.
41 crewmen died in these 'flying coffins'.
The Ca.313 suffered many engine fires; this situation was not helped by the special fuel that was required.
This fuel often corroded the tanks, causing leaks which would result in the fuel spilling onto the hot engines.

----------------------------------------- :
Other accidents occurred when the aircraft was used in a role for which it was not suited, such as [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
For example, on 10 June 1942, one aircraft crashed following a wing failure.
Many parts were not made to the correct standard.
When it was realized that Sweden did not have the same problem, a modification programme was introduced and the rate of accidents dropped.
For many years this machine, with its 10 hour endurance, was the only one capable of patrolling around Sweden.
By all standards, it was obsolete by 1940. It was removed from service soon after the end of the war.
The [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] eventually ordered 905 machines called the CA.313G to be used for training purposes and other secondary employment, but only a few examples were delivered.
They had a different nose from the standard model.
Two series of Ca.313 had this nose difference and were called 'Ca.313 R.P.B.1 and 2.
In 1942, [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] received ten Caproni Ca 311M bombers which had been ordered and paid for by the former Royal Yugoslav government.

Survivors
There are no original Ca.313 survivors. A replica built in Sweden for a TV miniseries using some original parts was put in the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], after filming was completed where it can still be seen.
