Country:  | Ah never discovered this poll before - probably because it was during my absence 
But like Kiwi, I have gone for the Re-2005  Nice Pictures too Kiwi  Quote: |
i don't thing C.C. would be very pleased with that poll....................
| Why not? Its a Superb poll!
As a fotnote, I was tempted by the G.50 and MC.200, because the Italians managed to utilise these two planes extremely effectively at the start of the war, despite them being hopelessly outdated. I believe that Italy's top ace, Adriano Visconti, got 18 of his 26 kills in a Macchi MC.200.

The Re-2005 was by far the best...

Country: | The Series 5 Italian fighters were incredibly good, but the Armistice shortly after deployment shortened thir careers somewhat

| Reggiane Re.2005 definately. with the tried & tested Daimler Benz DB605 engine plus decent armament that would be the one i'd like to fly.

Country:  | CC, I would agree that the series 5 were the best! I was ooking for a new Pol to write too, this is nice. I would say that the MC 202 would be my pick. It served well and in the numbers that could be seen. The 205, 2005, and G.55 were all small numbers, but would have and did give the P-51 and P-47 fits. As for the DB 605 the Italians had egine problums, that never really helped and getting out of the war early. I wish the Alies would have used more Italan designs or just collected the engineers

| I voted for the Reggiane Re 2005. It was very nimble and well-armed. Much better than the Macchi.

Country: | Ok, but these panese were produced late and in small numbers.What would be our opinion if the P-51 or F4U were produced in the same numbers? If the MC. 205 or the 2005 were produced in the same quantity and quality as the two US aircraft.
But that is not a true part of this forum? So, I would still go for the 205. Fast and fun.

Country: | Nope, but it doesnt stop a plane from being capable...
I change my vote to SAI 403 now anyway.
