Macchi M.3

Macchi originally began building flying boats based on the Lohner L, but in the Macchi M.3 so many things had changed you could call it a true Macchi design (and thereby its letter designation switched from "L" to "M" ). Over two hundred were built and they served widely through the Adriatic performing all manners of missions. Those include reconnaissance, bombing, patrol, combat, and commando raids.
