Final approach

A Fiat CR.32 of the Foligno Fighter School after a crash perhaps near Castiglion del Lago airfield, Lake Trasimeno, Umbria. The aircraft is a former Regia Aeronautica’s fighter downgraded to trainer aircraft after its replacement by the Fiat CR.42. The plane, in full silver finish, had Regia Aronautica’s color and insignia before WW2. Note also the Italian tricolor extended to horizontal tail plane. Victor Sierra

Crash

Rare picture of one few Fiat CR.32s which, at beginning of the war, Summer 1940, was modified in night fighter (CR.32CN) with prolonged exhausts and dark finish for the defence of most important Italian town, like Rome, against night enemies raid. Obviously this ruddy modification had nobody follow-up. Note in background a Junkers Ju 52 under servicing. Victor Sierra
