History.
In 1936 the Ministry of Aeronautics requested the various Italian aeronautical companies to build a new land reconnaissance aircraft. The Caproni participated in the tender with a project called Ca.134. It was evaluated in Guidonia on 23 January 1937, but did not make an excellent impression on the High Command of the Italian Royal Air Force. The aircraft was grounded by seniority on May 11, 1939, and was then most likely scrapped.
Armaments and propulsion.
The aircraft, given its reconnaissance role, had a modest armament consisting of a 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT Mod.35 machine gun in the fighter and a 7.7 mm Breda-SAFAT Mod.35 machine gun in the rear defensive position in tiltable carriage.
In terms of engine power, the aircraft was powered by a 900 hp Isotta Fraschini Asso XI RC.40 engine positioned at the forward apex of the fuselage and covered by a metal casing cover and combined with a triple propeller.
