Design and development

The Bastianelli P.R.B (named after the three Italians that formed the company Giovanni Pegga, Giuseppe Rossi and Filippo Bastianelli) was a large span two-bay biplane flying boat. [1] It was powered by four 300 hp (224 kW) Fiat A.12bis inline piston engines mounted in tandem pairs on the lower wing. [1] Built in Rome it was transported to Lido di Ostia for completion and testing and it first flew on 11 May 1921 piloted by Rossi. [1] Although it flew well, only one was built and it did not enter production. [1]
