Historical Description and Usage

The Fiat BR.20 Cicogna, also known as the "Stork", was the first all-metal medium-range bomber to enter service with the Regia Aeronautica (Royal Italian Air Force). This aircraft made its first flight in 1936 and quickly saw combat use during the Spanish Civil War (1937). It was also widely used during World War II on fronts in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Deployed between 1937–1945 by Italy and Japan in the Chinese theater, the Fiat BR.20 bomber was the backbone of Italian bomber aviation. In the later years of the war, it was used for patrol and training missions.
