Italian deck fighter
« on: December 06, 2006, 09:15:06 PM »
Italia have a plan to employ one aircraft carrier unti but this never happen. Even if this could bereleased it is hard to beleive that this could change history. This color profile present prototype of Fiat G.50 equiped for deck operations. I am wonder why this prototype did not have adopted some naval type of camouflage?

The Germans had a carrier, but never used it, below is an aerial view from a RAF recce aircraft in 1941. During the war, the "Graf Zeppelin" was damaged by artillery fire and fell into the hands of the Soviet army.
