Ali e Colori #6 Caccia (Fighters) Reggiane
Reggaine fighters were amongst the best performing aircraft in the RA inventory and planes such as the

Ali e Colori #7 FIAT CR.32
This is the last issue of the Ali e Colori series. It is devoted to the
FIAT CR.32, the backbone of the Regia Aeronautica Italiana in the 1930s. A highly effective combat
aircraft, it was also sold in large numbers to foreign air forces and played a key
role in the Axis victory in the Spanish Civil War.
This new publication is the result of extensive research performed by Paolo Waldis, Marino
De Bortoli and Angelo Brioschi. Included in this issue are over fifty accurate
and attractive colour profiles. Multi-view line drawings are also included.
This is a ‘must have’ publication that will be appreciated by modelers
and historians alike, thanks to a great deal of information accompanying each profile.
32 pages, plastic-coated cover. Italian English text.

Ali e Colori #4 Macchi C.202
One of the best fighter aircraft of WWII, the MC.202 possessed a great rate
of climb and straight line speed. The MC.202 was the equivalent of the Spitfire Mk.V
and was completely superior to the Kittyhawk and Hurricanes in which it encountered
in North Africa and elsewhere. The MC.202 was likely the best fighter in the Axis
inventory in 1941-42 and was flown by many Regia Aeronautica aces including Teresio
Martinoli and Franco Lucchini. 21 pages.

Ali e Colori #3 Fiat G.50
The Fiat G.50 was the first all metal monoplane fighter for the Regia Aeronuatica
and was a typical transition aircraft. Its final design reflected the preference of
RA pilots for unrestricted view. This requirement brought about the "hump" characteristic
to the "Arrow" and to the Macchi C.200. Its service record was good, and the design
would eventually lead to the Fiat G.55, one of the best fighters of WWII. In the hands
of the Finns, the G.50 sported a 50-1 kill ratio against the Soviets. 21 pages.

Ali e Colori #2 Macchi MC.200
Undoubtedly the best fighter available in some quantity to the Regia Aeronautica
at beginning of the war, the Macchi C.200 was a robust, extremely maneuverable and
a reasonably fast monoplane. Designed by ing. Mario Castoldi, the winner of various
Schneider Trophy contests, the C.200 was generally liked by its pilots and many
Regia Aeronautica pilots would earn ace status flying this plane.
The MC.200 would eventually be developed into the potent MC.202. 21 pages.

Ali e Colori #1 Fiat CR.42
This was the best biplane fighter of World War II. Highly maneuverable and fairly fast, the
CR.42 was put into good effect during the early phases of the war. Used by
the Regia Aeronautica only briefly as a frontline fighter until the Italian monoplane designs were ready,
the CR.42 acquitted itself well and soldiered on through the rest of the war as a ground attack
aircraft and night fighter. The CR.42 was also sold in fairly large numbers to Belgium,
Hungary and Sweden and was used by the Luftwaffe who resumed production of this aircraft
well into 1944. 21 pages.
