Design and development
The Societa Idrovolanti Alta Italia (SIAI) refined the design of the SIAI S.9 into the SIAI S.12 a single-engined biplane reconnaissance-bomber flying boat. It had a deep, contoured forward hull with a slim tapered rear section. The Italian Navy was not interested and no orders were placed.
Operational history
The aircraft was used for the 1920 Schneider Trophy race, where it was known as the Savoia S.12. The contest was won by Italy as Great Britain had withdrawn from the race. Lt. Luigi Bolgna was the only pilot to complete the race in the Savioa S-12, achieving a speed of 107 mph (172.6 km/h). The aircraft achieved a maximum speed of 138 mph (222 km/h) on 7 January 1921.

Die SIAI (Savoia) S.12 war ein Flugboot, das als Aufklärer- und leichter Bomber geplant war und 1919 von Societa Idrovolanti Alta Italia in einem Exemplar hergestellt wurde. Die Maschine entstand aus den Erfahrungen mit der S.8 und S.9, kam jedoch nicht über das Prototypenstadium hinaus, da die italienische Marine kein Interesse an einer Beschaffung zeigte. SIAI hat daraufhin versucht die Maschine durch Teilnahmen an Rennsportveranstaltungen populär zu machen.- [en] SIAI S.12
