The Breda Ba.75 was an Italian prototype two-seat reconnaissance and ground-attack aircraft designed and built by the Società Italiana Ernesto Breda.[1] Only one aircraft was built and the type did not enter production.
Development[]
Based on the design of the earlier Ba.65 the Ba.75 was slightly larger and was a mid-wing cantilever monoplane and unlike the Ba.65 had a fixed tailwheel landing gear.[1] The Ba.75 was powered by a 900 hp (670 kW) Isotta-Fraschini K.14 radial piston engine.[1] The bottom and lower sides of the fuselage were glazed to allow observation of the ground.[1] The only Ba.75 was built and test flown in 1939.[1]
