Operational History
The first operational Fiat G.50 aircraft were delivered to the Regia Aeronautica in 1938. During the Spanish Civil War, about a dozen G.50s were sent to Spain to reinforce the Aviazione Legionaria. The type proved extremely maneuverable and one of Italy's best fighters, yet by the time World War II began, it was considered underpowered and underarmed.
