The Fiat G.50 Freccia (Arrow) was a World War II Italian fighter aircraft. First flown in February 1937, the G.50 was Italy’s first single-seat, all-metal monoplane with an enclosed cockpit and retractablelanding gear to go into production. The Fiat served in both the Spanish Civil War, and World War 2, where it was found to be fast and, typical of most Italian designs, very manoeuvrable, however the aircraft had inadequate armament (two Breda-SAFAT 12,7 mm machine guns)

Fiat G.50 in The War That Came EarlyEdit

Soviet pilot Sergei Yaroslavsky had encountered the Fiat during his service in Spain. He found that his Tupolev bomber could easily out run the fighter after it had dropped it's bomb load.
