                                 Almost 800 Paulista CAP-4s were manufactured in Brazil in the 1940s.  Originally designed by
                                 Empresa Aeronautica Ypiranga, the neat little machine was basically a n unlicensed copy of
                                 the Taylor Cub .  EAY was bought out in 1942 by Companhia Aeronautica Paulista (CAP)
                                 who produced the aircraft until 1948.   Several went 'back to the home country'  to Portugal.
                                 This example was flown by the Aero Club de Portugal, who kindly send me this image.
