| | Comando Supremo: Caproni CA.311 |
 | | The Ca.311 began to replace the Meridionali Ro.37 biplane in service with the Italian Air Force air observation wings from 1940, although full re-equipment did not occur until 1941. |
| | The details of the Ca.311 included a fixed armament of 3 7.7mm machine guns, and a bomb load of 882 pounds. |
| | Faced with this German embargo, Count Caproni (who was anti-German) arranged for the aircraft to be delivered to Britain via a front organization in Portugal, but less than four weeks later Italy entered the war on the German side and all further work ceased on the British order. |
