Ca.308 Borea

Role	Airliner Type of aircraft
Manufacturer	Caproni
First flight	1935
Primary user	Ala Littoria
Number built	8

The Caproni Ca.308 Borea ("North Wind") was a small airliner built in Italy in the mid-1930s.

Development

The Ca.308 was a streamlined, low-wing cantilevered monoplane design of conventional configuration. Its undercarriage was not retractable. The mainwheels were fitted with spats.

The prototype, designated Ca.306, was exhibited at the Milan Exhibition of 1935.

The basic design of the Ca.308 subsequently served as the basis for a large family of military aircraft, beginning with the Caproni Ca.309.

Operational history

The Italian airline Ala Littoria ordered five examples.

The Italian government ordered two aircraft for general-purpose use by its colonial administration in Libya.

All these aircraft received the Ca.308 designation.
