Breda A.9

The Breda A.9 was an Italian twin-engine, all-metal monoplane reconnaissance aircraft developed and produced by Breda during the interwar period. Designed by Cesare Pallavicino, it was intended to fulfill a requirement for a modern reconnaissance platform for the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force). The A.9 featured a high-wing configuration and fixed landing gear. While considered promising, it ultimately did not enter widespread service with the Italian air force. Further development was hampered by various factors, including competition from other aircraft designs and evolving requirements within the Regia Aeronautica. The A.9 is primarily remembered as an example of the Italian aviation industry's efforts to develop modern aircraft during the 1930s.
