The Savoia-Marchetti S.62 bis flying boat
|
|
All Getta's were powered by 220 HP "Austro-Daimler" or "Hiero" engines taken from Austrian hydroplanes captured during the first world war. The Navy's next choice was the S.59 bis flying boat , designed in 1927 and exported in several countries, including Romania, who purchased 12 S.59 bis in that year. |
