As far as I'm aware the plans for the converstion of the Italian Cruiser Bolzano and the captured French Cruiser Foch (With the ability to carry 12 Re2001) isn't the two further converstions I'm looking for above

Italian A/C's
The Italians proposed to convert the passenger liners Roma & Augustus into the A/C's Aquila & Sparviero, plus a further 2 converstions were planned. It is the 2 further converstions I'm interested in, does anyone have any info concerning them.

Re: Italian A/C's
Hogg and Wiper (2004) discuss in detail unrealized plans to convert the cruiser Bolzano into an aircraft carrier. The Regia Marina operated the seaplane carrier Giuseppe Miraglia in the Mediterranean during World War II (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_s ... e_Miraglia).
