Macchi M.16: The bare minimum maximized.

This ultra-light -avant la lettre- single-seat biplane appeared just after the end of WW1. An orthodox design with its pregnant-looking fuselage and toy-like wheels as charming peculiarities. The M.16 was powered by the ultra classic 30hp Anzani which delivered the goods, with an altitude record and various successful participations in sport events. Equipped with floats a trio were even evaluated by the US. Navy.

Naked. It was kinda irresistible, despite this guy’s facial expression.
