Stand Out Italian Fighter Bomber
From the request made by the Italian air force, the Reggiane Re2000 was produced and had its maiden flight in 1939. The aircraft featured an all-metal low-wing monoplane which differed from other Italian fighter designs. The Reggiane was improved upon and fitted with an air-cooled 1,175cc engine to produce the Re2002 which was adopted by the Italian air force as a fighter bomber. This aircraft had two nose mounted 12.7mm guns, two 7.7mm wing mounted guns, and had the capacity to carry a 650kg bomb under its fuselage. They first saw combat on the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943. When Italy surrendered, the Luftwaffe used them for anti-partisan duties. A few of these aircraft joined the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force and fought alongside with the Allies.
