Template information:

C.R. 32 "Freccia", which proved its reliability and operational efficiency during the Spanish Civil War, Fiat developed the new C.R. in the late 1930s. 42 Falco. The new biplane was a single-seat fighter. Like his predecessor, it had a fixed landing gear and an open cabin. It was equipped with some innovations, such as a construction made entirely of aluminum and steel covered with metal and canvas. Its air-cooled Fiat A.74 star engine enabled the Fiat C.R. 42 to reach 400 km / h. It was equipped with exceptional maneuverability, which the pilots greatly appreciated. He suffered from the limitations of the "biplane" configuration. Able to overcome the Gloster Gladiators proved unsuitable for the much faster and better armed modern fighters Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire. Several Fiat C.R. 42, along with Fiat G 50 fighters and BR-20 and CANT Z 1007 bombers were also used during the Battle of Britain, which was part of the Italian Air Force.
