An Italian Monoplane Fighter: The Fiat G.50, an Interesting New Single‐Seater Aeroplane

Abstract

AFTER having been an even more enthusiastic supporter of the biplane for fighting purposes than have our own designers, the Fiat Company has produced a low‐wing all‐metal single‐seater fighter which may he adapted to a number of duties. This aeroplane has alternative gun equipment and a variety of bomb loads—incendiary bombs being to the fore in most cases. It is possible that the choices of a monoplane and of this armament are the result of lessons learned from the air fighting in the Spanish Civil War.
