The Savoia-Marchetti S.57 was an Italian single-engine biplane flying boat intended for aerial reconnaissance, built by Savoia-Marchetti for the Regia Aeronautica after the First World War. It was of wooden construction with a single-step hull, with the pilot and the observer and gunner sitting in tandem in open cockpits in the bow. It was powered by a single 186 kW Isotta-Fraschini V.6 engine, and the observer had a single ring-mounted 7.7 mm machine gun. A sole improved S.57bis was built, fitted with a 224 kW Hispano-Suiza Type 42 engine. It belongs to the run of reconnaissance and patrol flying boats that the company supplied to the Italian air force in the 1920s.
