THE Piaggio Company has long been known for the design of unconventional aeroplanes; unconventional, that is, in the sense that they have broken with the general practice of the day. Their first post-war type, the P-136 five-seater twin-engined amphibian flying-boat, is no exception. The prototype was generally considered to be one of the most interesting aeroplanes exhibited at the 1949 Salon de l'Acronautique. A second prototype was completed for demonstration purposes and, although civil sales were limited to a single example bought by King Farouk, the Italian Air Force adopted the P-136 as a seaplane trainer and a first series of fifteen was recently completed for them at the company's main aircraft works at Finale Ligure. Piaggio &.C., although well-known as an aircraft and aero-engine constructor, is primarily an industrial firm making many different products, including railway coaches and the familiar Vespa light motor cycle.
