MC. 205 VELTRO

The Macchi MC.205 is a development of the previous MC.202 Folgore, undoubtedly the very best fighter airplane employed by the Italian Air Force through the 2nd World War. This aircraft, with an even more powerful engine, offered exemplary managing and good rate, although it had restricted armament which, but ended up being increased during manufacturing by adding two 20 MM cannons. Nevertheless the restrictions of Italian industry prevented production from attaining the necessary level for the war action needs among these aeroplanes, as well as the volume of machines delivered toward squadrons ended up being insufficient to influence the overwhelming air-power of the Allies.
