Sorry, George. *I can't help you either. *I remember Caproni made a
single seat version of the two seat A-21 (called the A-15, and flown
in the 1972 World Championships), and I seem to recall they might have
thought of making a 15 meter version (without the center section) of
the single seater. *There is a book that was available from Raul
Blacksten titled "The Start of Gliding in Italy" by Vincenzo
Pedrielli. *You might see if Raul has any more copies of the book, or
get in contact with the author directly.

Has the seller not been able to provide you with much information?

We have Vincenzo's book at the NSM. It is, as its title indicates,
about The Start of Gliding in Italy, which was in 1924. Caproni isn't
mentioned.
