FIAT G.50bis DOGFIGHT TRAINING

The Fiat G.50 "Freccia" (Arrow) was first
delivered to the Regia Aeronautica in
1938.  Physically, it resembled the FW190
to a degree; however, its performance did
not.  It was totally outclassed by most
of the fighters it encountered.  Fiat-
CMASA built 245 of the original G.50
before they started on the improved
G.50bis, which had a cleaner fuselage,
modified canopy, more armor plating, and
increased range.  It was powered by a 870
hp Fiat A74 RC 38 radial engine (14
cylinder).  The prototype of the G.50bis
flew on 9 September 1940, and over 400
were built.  It served as an interceptor,
ground attack, and as a bomber escort and
shipping escort.  The G.50 was armed with
two 12.7mm Breda-SAFAT machineguns in the
upper cowling, and could be armed with
660 pounds of bombs (300 kg).
SPECS:  Top speed 302 mph at 19,685 feet,
ceiling 35,270 feet, range 294 miles.
