Аннотация:
The Macchi C.202 Folgore (Lightning) was one of the best Italian aircraft of WWII. This fighter, designed by Mario Castoldi, was used in combat from the autumn of 1941 until the end of the war, and achieved much success. Leading pilots of the Regia Aeronautical including Lucchini, Gorrini, Ferrulli. and Martinoli, fought in them over Malta and North Africa, anchn defence of Italy. The Macchi C.202 was a dangerous opponent for Allied aircraft, especially in 1941-42. when it boasted superiority over the Hurricane and Tomahawk. Later on, when engaging the Spitfire and Kittyhawk, successes were more difficult to achieve.
