The later Kamm tails are never referred to as Duetto's in the US. I know that this presents a problem in differeniating roundtail and kamm tail 1750's (Series 1 and Series 2) in the US. I will now suit up in my Nomex (even if very old) to await the flames from 1750 roundtails that would like to consider 1969 roundtails with the 1750/Spica engines to be "Duetto's" with their greater "proviance." But regarding this thread, it's more importance in hearing from our European friends that may have better insights into this issue, although their understanding may be different than the US interpretation.
