Description

Starting the C.R. 32 "Freccia" success shown by an excellent reliability and practical effectiveness through Spanish Civil War, the Italian maker Fiat developed, in belated ‘30s, the latest C.R. 42 "Falco". The modern biplane single-seat fighter had - after the predecessor - the fixed landing gear along with the available cabin but was certainly fashioned with essential innovations as an example the alloy and steel framework an integral part of canvass and metal panelling. After its supercharged air-cooled Fiat A.74 radial engine the Fiat C.R. 42 could reach 400 Km / h. It had an extraordinary manoeuvrability, much respected by the Italian pilots, but suffered the "biplane" setup limitations. It absolutely was capable effective engage the Gloster Gladiators nonetheless it have now been quickly outclassed by faster and greatly armed monoplanes following the Hawker Hurricane therefore the Supermarine Spitfire. A Few Fiat C.R. 42, and G.50 fighters and BR.20, CANT Z 1007 bombers is employed by the Italian Regia Aeronautica through the Battle of Britain into the “Corpo Aereo Italiano”.
