Seen here “on the step” at Trieste, CANT 10ter I-OLTE (c/n 5) was acquired by SISA in March 1926 and operated the first Turin-Trieste service for the airline the following month. It continued to serve with SISA until it was destroyed in an accident in March 1932.

During 1929-30 a modified version of the CANT 10ter was developed with a metal hull with duralumin sheet skin and redesigned bows. A two-seat cockpit with side-by-side seating was incorporated and the wooden-hulled 10ter’s five passenger cabin windows were replaced with two larger windows. This is one of the first two.
