The Aviation Historian Magazine  |  Issue 10
Powered by the formidable Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine, Italy’s Macchi MC.205V Veltro, Fiat G.55 and Reggiane Re.2005 were among the meanest-looking fighters of World War Two; and yet their development went off the rails — to the extent that the Regia Aeronautica adopted the Messerschmitt Bf 109G instead. What went so catastrophically wrong? Italian historian Gregory Alegi provides the answers, in an article full of new insights — just one of many such stories in Issue No 10 of The Aviation Historian. Other features include an album of amazing and previously-unseen aircraft-depot photographs taken in Egypt during World War One; how a Tiger Moth became a star of Thunderbirds; an interview with Iran’s first helicopter pilot about how the rare Cessna Skyhook performed in service; and new material on a 1932 British altitude-record flight. All these stories, and many more — such as the USA’s non-scheduled airlines, forgotten Folland monoplane designs and the epic story of a global airlift in 1942 — are illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork.
