Description:
In the 1930s, a brilliant knack for building internal combustion engines, a flair for design, and a supply of talented pilots seemed to place Italy on the cusp of European air supremacy. As Allied nations and Germany began producing more powerful engines, however, the Italians fell woefully behind until resurrected by powerplants from their German allies. The result was a range of designs that never earned the notoriety of their German, British, and American counterparts, but nevertheless provided the aircraft for 102 aces, mostly in the skies over Malta and North Africa.
