today?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No airworthy CR.42 currently flies for the public, though one is under long-term restoration at Duxford. Several complete examples survive as static museum exhibits. If you want to fly a real fighter yourself, MiGFlug offers cockpit experiences in genuine jet fighters you can actually strap into.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why did Italy use biplanes in the Second World War?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Italian fighter doctrine still prized the tight-turning dogfight, where an agile biplane excelled, and Italy&rsquo;s engine industry could not yet supply enough powerful inline engines for a first-rate monoplane. The CR.42 was the result &mdash; superb at manoeuvre, but overtaken by the speed and firepower of monoplane fighters.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Did Italian biplanes really fight in the Battle of Britain?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. In late 1940 the Corpo Aereo Italiano flew Fiat CR.42s from bases in occupied Belgium against southern England &mdash; one of the more surprising sights of the Battle of Britain.

Italy went the other way. In 1938 Fiat flew a brand-new biplane, the CR.42 Falco, and the Regia Aeronautica ordered it in quantity \u2014 a deliberate bet on agility and the dogfight at the very moment those things were being overtaken by speed and firepower.<\/p>\n<p>The man behind it, Celestino Rosatelli, had designed the earlier CR.32, a biplane that had done well in the Spanish Civil War. Italian pilots loved the tight-turning, responsive feel of a good biplane, and the Falco delivered it in full: a clean sesquiplane, with a smaller lower wing, a powerful Fiat radial and handling that pilots \u2014 friend and foe \u2014 found delightful.<\/p>\n<p>It was also, by 1940, hopelessly outdated. Slow and armed with just two machine guns, the Falco could not live with a Spitfire or Hurricane in a straight fight. And yet Italy built roughly 1,819 of them \u2014 the most-produced Italian aircraft of the war \u2014 and threw them onto every front it fought on.<\/p>\n<p>One of the strangest episodes came over the English Channel. In late 1940 Italian CR.42s of the Corpo Aereo Italiano flew from bases in Belgium against England \u2014 open-cockpit biplanes pitched into the radar-and-Spitfire world of the Battle of Britain. One Falco force-landed in Suffolk and survives in the RAF Museum to this day.<\/p>\n<p>The Falco\u2019s real war was fought in the heat and dust of North and East Africa, where skilled Italian pilots used its agility against Gladiators, Hurricanes and P-40s. In the mountains of East Africa, Mario Visintini ran up 16 victories to become the highest-scoring biplane fighter ace in history.<\/p>\n<p>As the monoplanes took over, the Falco found second-line work as a night-fighter, ground-attack aircraft and trainer, serving to the end of the war \u2014 Germany even pressed over 150 into night-harassment duty. Several survive in museums today. The CR.42 was the last of a breed: the front-line fighter biplane, gone from the sky forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pull\">\u201cThe last of the fighting biplanes \u2014 obsolete on the day it was born, and still dangerous in a turning fight.\u201d<cite><b>The Fiat CR.42 Falco<\/b> \u2014 Italy\u2019s most-built wartime aircraft<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">01<\/span><span class=\"t\">Why Italy built a new biplane in 1939<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>The Falco can look like a mistake \u2014 a biplane ordered into mass production just as biplanes became obsolete. But it made a certain sense at the time. Italy\u2019s aero-engine industry could not yet supply enough powerful inline engines for a first-rate monoplane, and Italian fighter doctrine still prized the tight-turning dogfight, where a nimble biplane could hold its own.<\/p>\n<p>The result was an aircraft that was genuinely excellent at what it did \u2014 and outmatched by everything that mattered by 1941. The Falco is a case study in how quickly the technology of air warfare moved, and how an air force\u2019s doctrine and industry can leave it fighting the last war with the wrong tool, however beautifully made.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Engineering<\/div>\n<h2>How Fiat perfected a design the world was leaving behind<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cards3\">\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">01<\/div>\n<h3>The peak of the biplane<\/h3>\n<p>The Falco was a sesquiplane \u2014 its lower wing much smaller than its upper \u2014 refined from Rosatelli\u2019s successful CR.32. Everything about it was tuned for the tight-turning dogfight: light, responsive controls and a famously quick half-roll that repeatedly surprised its monoplane opponents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">02<\/div>\n<h3>The Fiat radial<\/h3>\n<p>Power came from a Fiat A.74 air-cooled radial of around 840 hp \u2014 reliable and simple, but modest by the standards of the Merlins and DB 601s its enemies flew. It gave the Falco respectable agility and climb, but never the speed to dictate a fight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">03<\/div>\n<h3>Light armament<\/h3>\n<p>The Falco went to war with just two machine guns, typically two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFATs in the nose, sometimes with light underwing bombs added. It was enough against other biplanes and unarmoured targets, but far too little to trouble modern, armoured monoplanes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">02<\/span><span class=\"t\">A quick half-roll and a hard truth<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>RAF pilots who fought the Falco came away impressed by its manoeuvrability \u2014 British intelligence specifically noted the surprise caused by its ability to snap into an extremely tight half-roll. In a slow, turning fight the CR.42 could out-manoeuvre a Hurricane or even a Spitfire.<\/p>\n<p>The hard truth was that modern air combat had moved on from the turning fight. Fast monoplanes could dictate the terms of an engagement, diving in, firing and climbing away before the nimble biplane could bring its guns to bear. The Falco could win the manoeuvre and still never get the chance to shoot \u2014 the central dilemma of every biplane fighter caught in the monoplane age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Specifications<\/div>\n<h2>Fiat CR.42 Falco \u2014 by the numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Airframe &amp; performance<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Crew<\/dt>\n<dd>1<\/dd>\n<dt>Length<\/dt>\n<dd>8.25 m (27 ft 1 in)<\/dd>\n<dt>Wingspan (upper)<\/dt>\n<dd>9.70 m (31 ft 10 in)<\/dd>\n<dt>Empty weight<\/dt>\n<dd>~1,780 kg (3,929 lb)<\/dd>\n<dt>Max takeoff weight<\/dt>\n<dd>~2,415 kg (5,324 lb)<\/dd>\n<dt>Max speed<\/dt>\n<dd>~441 km\/h (274 mph)<\/dd>\n<dt>Service ceiling<\/dt>\n<dd>~10,210 m (33,500 ft)<\/dd>\n<dt>Range<\/dt>\n<dd>~780 km (480 mi)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Powerplant, armament &amp; programme<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Engine<\/dt>\n<dd>Fiat A.74 R1C.38 radial, ~840 hp<\/dd>\n<dt>Armament<\/dt>\n<dd>2 \u00d7 Breda-SAFAT MGs (typically 2 \u00d7 12.7 mm) + light underwing bombs<\/dd>\n<dt>First flight<\/dt>\n<dd>23 May 1938<\/dd>\n<dt>Built<\/dt>\n<dd>~1,819 (1939\u20131942)<\/dd>\n<dt>Operators<\/dt>\n<dd>Italy; also Belgium, Hungary, Sweden &amp; Germany<\/dd>\n<dt>Cost per flight hour<\/dt>\n<dd>Not recorded \u2014 retired after the war<\/dd>\n<dt>Variants<\/dt>\n<dd>CR.42bis; CR.42CN night-fighter; CR.42AS ground-attack; Swedish J 11<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">03<\/span><span class=\"t\">A family of Falcos<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>The basic Falco spawned a string of sub-types: the up-armed CR.42bis, the CR.42CN night-fighter (which intercepted RAF raiders without radar), the CR.42AS fighter-bomber for ground attack in the desert, and the Swedish-operated J 11.

losses. Superb in a turning fight and available in huge numbers, it did real damage where it could dictate the terms \u2014 and was picked apart where it could not. It was, above all, the last front-line fighter biplane, closing a chapter of air warfare that began in 1914.<\/p>\n<div class=\"combat\">\n<div class=\"cstat\"><b>~1,819<\/b><span>built \u2014 the most-produced Italian aircraft of WWII<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"cstat\"><b>16<\/b><span>victories by Mario Visintini, the top biplane ace<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"cstat\"><b>1940<\/b><span>Italian biplanes flown against Britain<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"cstat\"><b>2<\/b><span>machine guns \u2014 its great weakness<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:26px;font-size:14.5px;color:#454e5e\">Claims and losses in the Mediterranean and African air wars are hard to reconcile between Italian, British and other records; the figures above reflect the type\u2019s scale and its most famous exploits rather than a precise tally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"faq\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">FAQ<\/div>\n<h2>Fiat CR.42 Falco \u2014 questions &amp; answers<\/h2>\n<details open=\"\">\n<summary>Can you fly a Fiat CR.42 Falco today?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>No airworthy CR.42 currently flies for the public, though one is under long-term restoration at Duxford. Several complete examples survive as static museum exhibits. If you want to fly a real fighter yourself, MiGFlug offers cockpit experiences in genuine jet fighters you can actually strap into.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why did Italy use biplanes in the Second World War?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Italian fighter doctrine still prized the tight-turning dogfight, where an agile biplane excelled, and Italy\u2019s engine industry could not yet supply enough powerful inline engines for a first-rate monoplane. The CR.42 was the result \u2014 superb at manoeuvre, but overtaken by the speed and firepower of monoplane fighters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Did Italian biplanes really fight in the Battle of Britain?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Yes. In late 1940 the Corpo Aereo Italiano flew Fiat CR.42s from bases in occupied Belgium against southern England \u2014 one of the more surprising sights of the Battle of Britain. One of those Falcos survives, having force-landed in Suffolk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Was the CR.42 a good fighter?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>For its type, yes \u2014 it was beautifully agile and could out-turn a Hurricane or even a Spitfire. But it was slow and armed with only two machine guns, so against modern monoplanes it was badly outclassed and increasingly relegated to second-line roles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How many CR.42s survive?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>Several. Complete Falcos are preserved at the RAF Museum in the UK, the Swedish Air Force Museum and the Italian Air Force Museum, with another under restoration at Duxford.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<div class=\"ad\">\n<div class=\"adin\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Fly a Fighter Yourself<\/div>\n<h2>You can\u2019t fly a Falco \u2014 but you can fly a fighter jet<\/h2>\n<p class=\"adp\">The Falco\u2019s war belongs to history, but the thrill of flying a real fighter doesn\u2019t. With MiGFlug you can strap into a genuine jet \u2014 from the L-39 Albatros to a MiG-29 at the edge of space \u2014 with an experienced fighter pilot beside you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"car\"><button
