The FIAT CR.42 Falco (\"Falcon\", plural: Falchi) is asingle-seat sesquiplane fighter developed and produced by Italian aircraftmanufacturer Fiat Aviazione. It servedprimarily in the Italian Regia Aeronautica in the 1930s and during the SecondWorld War. The CR.42 was an evolution of Fiat’s earlierCR.32 fighter, featuring a more powerful supercharged Fiat A.74R1C.38air-cooled radial engine and aerodynamic improvements to its relatively cleanexterior surfaces. The aircraft provedto be relatively agile in flight, a factor that had been attributed to its verylow wing loading and a sometimes decisive tactical advantage. RAF Intelligence praised its exceptionalmanoeuvrability, further noting that \"the plane was immenselystrong\", though it was technically outclassed by faster, more heavilyarmed monoplanes. While primarily usedas a fighter, various other roles were adopted for some variants of the type,such as the CR.42CN night-fighter model, the CR.42AS ground-attack aircraft,and the CR.42B Biposto twin-seat trainer aircraft.
