RE.2002 ARIETE

The Reggiane 2002 originated the Italian Air Force as a fighter-bomber, as an additional growth of the fighter RE 2000. This aircraft had been designed with an even more effective engine and increased armaments: two tools regarding wings was indeed put into both on nose. Furthermore the “Ariete”, since the RE 2002 had been called, had a great storage space capability, capable of carry bombs as heavy as 500 kg. The squadrons built with this aircraft saw much of action despite the Allied fleet invading Sicily in 1943. After the Italian surrender in September of the identical 12 months, the surviving aircrafts had been employed by the Luftwaffe, which produced its variation with about 200 copies.
