Pomilio PD

The Pomilio PC (C.I) showed promise (especially when compared to obsolete twin-boom Savoia-Pomilio SP2 and SP3s), and about 70 were made before production was switched to the improved Pomilio PD model. While Italian crews complained about the PC and PD (as they did with almost all types), the PD's 200hp Fiat A.12 engine gave the plane good performance, and it served from mid 1917 through the end of the war. The PD suffered from the same instability problems as the PC, leading to crashes. Further improvements resulted in the Pomilio PE. Probably around 431 PDs were constructed, of which 93 were dual control variants mostly used for training.
