Fiat G.55 claims
 
I realize that that there were few G.55s produced and had a short life with the Regia Aeronautica and ANR, but other than Giulio Toressi, does anyone know who made claims with the G.55? Thanks.

Re: Fiat G.55 claims
 
Hello guys,

Torresi, Bartolozzi and Morettin might have claimed 2 kills each in the Fiat G.55.

However, this profile has only four probables for Torresi:

And Bartolozzi might have claimed as many as three:

Cheers,
