Caproni CC-2 - Page 5
This is the 2nd prototype of the Caproni fan-turbine aircraft. This one had 2 crew. The radial engine in the nose drove an air turbine that then used a burner in the rear to help power the plane. The middle photograph shows the turbine. Needless to say, this early craft was not very successful.
