The Fiat CR 32, designed in the early 1930s, was powered by a V 12-cylinder with 600 hp.
It could reach a top speed of 375 km/h.
Among the most famous biplanes in aviation history, the CR 32 stood out for its exceptional maneuverability.
She was also strong, very reliable and well armed for the time, with two 12.7mm Breda-Safat machine guns located on top of the engine and firing through the propeller disc.
The Fiat CR 32 had its baptism of fire during the Spanish Civil War and soon gained air superiority over the Soviet monoplanes such as the Polikarpov I-16 that formed the Squadrons of Republican Aviation.
Thanks to the exceptional mobility and training of the pilots, the Italian fighters even prevailed against more modern enemy aircraft, such as the Soviet-made Tupolev SB-2 bomber, which was considered interceptable due to its speed.
