The introduction of the Macchi MC 202 Folgore was a significant development for the fighter squadrons of the Italian Regia Aeronautica.
It was stylishly designed from an aerodynamic point of view and equipped with the powerful German DB 601 engine, manufactured under licence by the Italian aeronautical industry.
The engine and the general flight performance of the aircraft provided the Regia Aeronautica with a fighter capable of actively fighting all Allied fighters.
The flight performance was actually much better compared to the previous generation of fighters equipped with radial engines, such as the Fiat G-50 and the Macchi Mc-200.
It was manoeuvrable and fast (it could reach a speed of 600 km/h) and in the early versions was armed with two 12.7mm Breda SAFAT machine guns in the nose.
Only in later versions was the armament improved by fitting additional machine guns in the wings.
