Italian Macchi C.200 Fighter

The Macchi C.200 Saetta was an Italian single-engine fighter developed before the Second World War. Its radial engine and generally straightforward construction contrasted with the later inline-engine C.202 Folgore. C.200s fought in several theaters and continued operating after newer fighters appeared, although their armament and performance became increasingly limited against modern opponents. The design is an actual wartime service aircraft, not simply an early name for the C.202. The Saetta’s open cockpit remained a distinctive feature of its main production form. Italian units used it in North Africa and on the Eastern Front, including ground-support tasks. Its development provided industrial and operational experience for the C.202, which used a German-derived liquid-cooled engine.
