The Macchi MC.205 is a development of the previous MC.202 Folgore,
undoubtedly the best fighter plane used by the Italian Air Force during
the 2nd World War. This aircraft, with a more powerful engine, offered
excellent handling and good speed, although it had limited armament
which, however, was increased during production with the addition of two
20 MM cannons. But the limits of Italian industry prevented production
from reaching the necessary level for the war action requirements of
these aeroplanes, and the quantity of machines delivered to the
squadrons was insufficient to influence the overwhelming air-power of the Allies.
