Description

Beginning the C.R. 32 "Freccia" success proved by an excellent reliability and functional effectiveness through the Spanish Civil War, the Italian manufacturer Fiat developed, inside belated ‘30s, the new C.R. 42 "Falco". The new biplane single-seat fighter had - as the predecessor - the fixed landing gear as well as the available cabin but was designed with important innovations for instance the alloy and metal framework covered by canvass and metal panelling. Thanks to Its supercharged air-cooled Fiat A.74 radial motor the Fiat C.R. 42 could reach 400 Km / h. It had an extraordinary manoeuvrability, much valued by the Italian pilots, but suffered the "biplane" setup restrictions. It was capable successful engage the Gloster Gladiators nonetheless it had been quickly outclassed by quicker and heavily armed monoplanes once the Hawker Hurricane therefore the Supermarine Spitfire.
