'''Aeromere''' started life as the Caproni Bomber Co. in Italy during the first world war. The company made some of the largest bombers and held several records for gross weight lifted. | |||
After the second world war the company was limited to manufacturing non war related items, such as [[motorcycles]]. | |||
Several models were manufactured until the early 1960's including a [[BMW]] like opposed twin of 150cc's and several small singles. The singles featured a unique "face cam", [[overhead cam]] arrangement driven by a shaft. | |||
Primarily imported by Cosmopolitan Motors in Pennsylvania, the Aeromeres were not big sellers and only approximately 3800 total units were imported to the U.S. Very rarely seen today, only a handful still exist, and even few as running examples. | |||
Aeromere still sells plans for building the "Falco", a wood based small plane with a low wing and good performance. | |||
