Probably you are thinking of the infamous Caproni Bombar- there were several types used in World war I by the Italian air arm. Named after designer Major Gianni Caproni as stated there were several variations, most using modified Packard V-l2(Liberty) engines originally developed for trucks and putting out 400 Hp in aircraft trim. Having a modest tactical output on the war, it was a forerunner of the even more exotic Caproni Ca60 Transaero which had NINE wings and Eight Engines. while we are at it 8 Rudders, l8 flaps, two separate engine-control facilities and well, it did not work as lplanned buyt managed one parlty successful test flight in l92l ( up about l00 feet) a second test flight ended in a crash landing and collapse, end of program.

What are the ABCs of World War II?
The only application of something working on this alphabetic scale ( possibly too easy for enemies to figure out ) was the classification of airplanes by the then Army Air Corps ( the Naval airmen used a different code) A stood for Assault ( usually a light or medium Dive-Bomber) B- Bomber proper, and C- cargo or transport. This only covered three types of aircraft classifications. Fighters were Pursuit ( P) later F- fighter. To give examples- the A-20 was an assault bomber, the B-l7 a regular Bomber and the C-47 a transport, Army designation for The Douglas DC-3. that"s it.
