Do you see the critter? 🐁

This (fake) mouse was placed in the Museum’s 1914 Caproni Ca.20 to simulate its neglected condition upon being rediscovered in an Italian monastery. The Caproni company made several heavy bombers for World War I, but when it ventured into fighters with the Ca.20, the results were less successful. The Museum’s Ca.20 prototype is the only one of its kind ever produced.

Can you spot any other furry friends around the Museum? 🐕
