Wolsit-Nieuport

  This aircraft was designed by Eng. Rambaldo Jacchia. Two (one with a LUCT engine) were entered; also known as Jacchia-Botarini-Wolsit “Roma” monoplane or as the Wolsit-Nieuport. The design was based on a Nieuport monoplane (Nieuport 4) with a 9 cylinder 80-hp LUCT engine.
  It has been speculated that this was the “Jacchia-Wolsit” floatplane that participated in the 1913 “Circuito delle Laghi”, modified to landplane configuration.
  The monoplane was destroyed when pilot Attilio Maffei crashed into some trees during a test flight for the Military Competition on April 17th, 1913.
  The aircraft was eliminated from any further participation in the competition.
  Wolsit later entered the aircraft industry by acquiring a stake in Nieuport-Macchi.
