The Caproni Ca.97 was a utility aircraft produced in Italy in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
As originally designed, it was a high wing braced trimotor monoplane of conventional configuration with one engine mounted on the nose and the other two carried on strut-mounted nacelles at the fuselage sides.
Examples were also produced with only the nose engine or only the two nacelle mounted engines.
Military versions were used by the Regia Aeronautica in colonial policing roles, particularly in Libya from November 1929.
