Brief Info:
The Italians had two first generation fighters in the war, the Maachi 200 and the Fiat G50, however, the Reggiane 2000 (shown above) was truely unique for 1938. However, the motor did not impress the Regia Aeronautica and they did not purchase the Re2000. So Officine Meccaniche Reggiane SpA (Caproni) developed a variant of it, primarily with the greatly improved Daimler Benz Bd 601 motor, and called it the Re2001. It turned out to be a fine aircraft with good all around characteristics. But it was ill fated. The RA demanded a long series of "improvements" that held back production so that it was not operational until Dec. 1941, and then only 140 were produced by 1942. The basic problem was that most of the German made engines were put into Maachi 202s. Only 237 Re2001s were built. These flew in the fighter/bomber role and later as night fighters, never in their intended role as interceptors. Technical Details
