Third edition, revised and extended.
The development of the most famous Italian WWII fighter is described and
illustrated. Combining the agility and excellent flying characteristics
of the earlier MC.200 with a powerful German aero-engine, the Folgore
was the best Italian fighter in large-scale service. It served with the
Regia Aeronautica and other forces, including the Croatian air arm. This
book describes the design, development and operations of this elegant
and effective fighter. This expanded 3rd edition contains: scale plans,
photos and drawings from technical manuals, superb color illustrations
of camouflage and markings, and rare b&w archive photographs. Color
photos of the preserved aircraft illustrate all aspects of the
airframe.
Essential reading for aviation enthusiasts & scale aeromodelers.
