"Schneider Cup 4 - 1921 Macchi M 7"
In 1921 the Italians won the second post war Schneider Cup race (The 1919 race, also won by Italy, was invalidated). The aircraft was a Macchi M7, a very successful flying boat. By the rules of the cup, the first country to win three out of five races would retire the cup. With the 1919 results invalidated, the Italians needed just one more win.
