Description

Starting with the C.R. 32 "Freccia" success proved by an incredible reliability and practical effectiveness through the Spanish Civil War, the Italian maker Fiat developed, inside the belated ‘30s, the most up-to-date C.R. 42 "Falco". The modern biplane single-seat fighter had - as the predecessor - the fixed landing gear and available cabin but was at fact made with crucial innovations for instance the alloy and metal framework included in canvass and metal panelling. As a result of Its supercharged air-cooled Fiat A.74 radial motor the Fiat C.R. 42 was able to reach 400 Km / h. It had a fantastic manoeuvrability, a great deal valued by the Italian pilots, but suffered the "biplane" configuration limitations. It had been able to successful engage the Gloster Gladiators nonetheless it completed up being quickly outclassed by quicker and greatly armed monoplanes because the Hawker Hurricane combined with Supermarine Spitfire. Several Fiat C.R. 42, and G.50 fighters and BR.20, CANT Z 1007 bombers has been used by the Italian Regia Aeronautica through Battle of Britain in the “Corpo Aereo Italiano”.
