Lined up here in Hollywood style, the CR-32 was a well-known Italian biplane during the 1930's, liked by its crews for being maneuverable and well-built. The Royal Hungarian Air Force acquired a total of 76 CR.32's in 1935 and 1936. On 29 June, 1941,  the first aerial combat over Hungarian territory took place, when seven Tupolev S2 bombers attacked the railway station of Csap and were intercepted by Fiat CR.32's from 2/3 Fighter squadron, shooting down three of the raiders, at no loss to themselves.

Two prototypes of the parasol-wing, two-seat trainer named Levente (paladin), designed by András Fábián, were built at MAVAG ( Hungarian Wagon and Machine Factory) in the city of Győr. A slightly modified military version of this trainer was named the Levente II, manufactured at the Uhry brothers'  Repülőgépgyár Rt. on the Csepel island of the Danube, south of Budapest.
