Yes the whole RE 2000 series would be cool.

It would finialy give Italy a JABO.

Punt, I vote for G.55 only cause of production numbers. (my book says 212, 12 more than the 152)

Let's here it for the 5 series...

G.55 probably flown by Capitano Giovanni Bonet, credited with between 7 and 11 kills. After shooting down a B-17, Bonet was in shot down and killed by 'Herky' Green of the Checkertail Clan.

and the C.205V Veltro with a very interesting Luftwaffe-like scheme flown by Capitano Adriano Visconti, credited with 10 kills before his death in April '45.

anyone know if there were any italian pilot who made ace for both the axis & the allies?

Do to my recent move my book on Italian aces is in storage:(

I know the that their were aces that flew for the Axis after Italy Surendered, howeaver I am not shure if the ones who flew for the alies actualy saw enough combat to do so, I can't say as I recall 100%.

Anyone notice behind the cockpit on both a/c metal slopes down to the tail like the P-51B. Did they ever think of using bubble canopies?

Nice lookin planes, did they use german power plants?

G.55 please. Re.2005 is ugly.

Purely subjective opinion of course.

Re. 2005 is VERY ugly. Subjectively speaking.

Yes, they all ended in 5 (205, 2005, G.55) becuase they were part of the Series 5 aircraft, which were to use the DB605 Inverted V12 engine
