The CANSA C.5 was a training biplane developed in Italy shortly before World War II. Its conventional open-cockpit tailskid design was produced en masse in Italy under license. Originally aimed at the civil market no sales ensued but CANSA found a customer in the Regia Aeronautica which placed an order for twelve aircraft in October 1939; six single-seaters and six two-seaters. This was followed by an order for fifty machines the following year.
