Re: Italian Aircraft
Nice work Bill. My favourite is the MC. 202 (Veltro?).
Speed wise, a match for its Allied opponents (I believe it had the same powerplant as the Bf. 109F...don't quote me) but under-gunned.
Of interest in the Ju87 pic is the 'Diving Duck' emblem on the wheel spat.
CR. 32 was the 'ultimate' aerobat...an excellent stunt-flyer but was fragile in the air. Unable to withstand much damage and had a disturbing tendency to explode in mid-air if hit in the 'sweet spot' (fuel tank).
