Macchi C.202 Folgore History:
The Macchi C.202 Folgore (Lightning) was a World War II Italian fighter aircraft built by Macchi Aeronautica. While little known outside Italy, it was the best fighter plane of the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force or RA) during the conflict. Considered one of the most beautiful fighters to fly with wartime Axis forces, the C.202 also excelled as a dogfighter.
Deliveries of the first production aircraft began in the summer of 1941, and by November the C.202 was deployed to Libya. It saw limited service on the Eastern Front, where, along with the C.200, it achieved an 88 to 15 victory/loss ratio from 1941 to 1943. The C.202 also participated in Operation Crusader (1941) and Operation Harpoon (1942). Following the Armistice with Italy on September 8, 1943, the aircraft was used as a trainer in the Italian Social Republic. After the war, two examples served as trainers at Lecce until 1947. By 1944, the combat career of the Folgore was almost over. However, some aircraft had survived and were used by the Egyptian Air Force until 1951.
