Caproni Società Italiana (SIC) – Manufacturer History & Aircraft Guide

Caproni Società Italiana (SIC) – A Century of Italian Aviation Pioneering

Founded by Gianni Caproni in 1908, Caproni Società Italiana — also known as SIC — became one of Italy’s most prolific and innovative aircraft manufacturers. From the massive triplane heavy bombers of World War I that pioneered strategic bombing, to the elegant interwar airliners and fighters, through the WWII combat aircraft and the post-war jet trainers, Caproni’s legacy spans over five decades of continuous aviation engineering. The company also encompassed subsidiaries including Caproni Vizzola and the experimental Caproni Campini motorjet programme.
