And this was the same company, Caproni, that built and flew the third successful jet airplane (using a piston engine compressor, rather than an axial or centrifugal flow compressor), the Campini-Caproni CC-2 N-1.
Heinkel in Germany beat Caproni by a few months.
Henri Coanda, a Romanian engineer working in France, built and test his jet airplane in 1910.
It would have been better known if he'd actually been a pilot and known how to fly the thing...
