Historical Overview

The Fiat G.50 bis was an improved version of the first fully-metal single-seat fighter introduced into service with the Italian Air Force (Regia Aeronautica). Developed at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s, it was widely used during World War II—both by Italy and, for example, Finland. Fiat G.50 aircraft proved their worth in campaigns in Greece, the Balkans, North Africa, and also during the Winter War in Finland, where Finnish pilots achieved significant success flying this type. Production of the G.50 bis continued between 1939 and 1943.
