The Macchi C.202 Folgore was the main fighter jet of the Italian Air Force during World War II, an improved version of the MC.200 Lightning fighter
The MC.202 Lightning fighter retains the wings, control devices, and parts of the fuselage of the MC.200 fighter, and uses the DB601A engine. The new aircraft had a good appearance and enhanced its attack capability. The MC.202 Lightning fighter was delivered to combat units for use in 1941.
