Is the airplane below the same model as the one posted above by Victor?
The photo is from a different angle, but the details look the same.

Thanks for the confirmation, Denes.

Any info on the "Grup 3 Aviatori" in 1925? Was it permanently stationed in Dobrogea or was it just on joint arms field manoeuvers with the 10th Infantry Divison in October 1925? (see original caption on photo).

Here is the photo of an 'Italian' airplane coming German soldier's album, I cannot readily identfy. It should not too hard to be ID'd (I already have an idea), but I am too tired tonight (after 13 hours at work) to do some more research. Anyone?

It's probably an airplane of the Caproni 308/309 family

It could be one of the three Savoia Marchetti SM.83s acquired by LARES in 1938: YR-SAC, YR-SAD, and YR-SAE.

There were five Savoia SM 83 in romanian service:

YR-FAR (No. 34002 ) used by Air and Navy Ministry - returned to Italy ( I-AVTA)

YR-SAC ( No. 34006) used by LARES, transfered to No.1 Bomb Group -returned to Italy (I-ATTA)

YR-SAD (No. 34007) used by LARES, transfered to No.1 Bomb Group

YR- SAE ( No.34008) used by LARES, transfered to No.1 Bomb Group - returned to Italy (I-MITU)

YR- SAK ( No. 3400?) returned to Italy

Indeed in the posted picture should be one of the 3 SM 83 ( YR-SAC, YR-SAD, YR-SAE) transfered from LARES to No1 Bomb Group wearing axis markings (see the yellow strip on fuselage)
