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 colour illustrations of camouflage and markings, and rare archive photographs. Colour photos of the preserved aircraft illustrate all aspects of the airframe. Essential reading for aviation enthusiasts and scale aeromodellers.
