Descriptionof Fiat CR.42 Falco
Manufacturer

Based on the great success of the C.R. 32 "Freccia" biplane, which proved its reliability and operational efficiency during the Spanish Civil War, Fiat developed the new C.R. 42 "Falco" at the end of the 1930s. Like its predecessor, the new single-seat biplane fighter had a rigid undercarriage and an open cockpit, but was equipped with some innovations, such as a structure made entirely of aluminium and steel, covered with metal and canvas. Its air-cooled Fiat A.74 radial engine enabled the Fiat C.R. 42 to reach a top speed of 400 kilometres per hour. The aircraft was characterised by exceptional manoeuvrability, much appreciated by pilots, but suffered from the limitations of the "biplane" configuration, which compromised its operational performance compared to more modern and more powerful monoplane fighters.
