Fiat CR.32

The Fiat CR.32 was a Italian biplane fighter used in the Spanish Civil War and WW2. A notable feature was that the lower wing was shorter than the upper wing. It was well liked by its crews, being very manuverable and having a strong fuselage structure. It was used extensively in the Spanish Civil War and was used in WW2, though by 1942 it was relegated to night missions as newer fighters were put into service.
