    lanc, by the Saggitario he means the Re-2005. The Re-2005 could easily deal with a Spit of the same era, as could a Veltro or a Centauro

    So I see. However the smoke was an experimental gas being used by the Italians that would cause following pilots to pass out and crash. It is actually the Spitfire crashing, not the MC.202, which is banking off to rejoin is formation

    YEs. However one of the factory workers where tha gas was produced farted, and unknown to the Italians at the time this created a vast chemical reaction resulting in a huge explosion. The idea was never pursued

    That poses an additional hazard for the pilot, or is it a methane auot-destruct?

    No, the pilot was safe from the eminatine of methan gases whilst flying, the tank the gas was contained in was quite small and a long way away. However due the the Italians forgetting to build their machines in factories properly there was a lot of gas leakage, and that was what killed it
