Country:  | But the difference is, the Sea Hurricane was actually good. The only reason they were launching the Re-2000 was to get rid of the thing because it was taking up space on the ship.

Country: | No, they used it to replace the ancient Ro-43 biplane fighters...the Re-2000 was an excellent plane...But like the majority of early Italian fighters it was let down by poor armament...

How about the Wirraway - it was a fighter used by Australian Airforce over New Guniea , Rabaul etc.. Adopted from the Texan trainer. Apparantly, one shot down a zero once. | |
