Re: MC-202 Folgore serial number 9973
Hi,
I have seen at least one other such stick that had a different number that matched to a known M.M. number. So, I am not too sure that this number is unrelated to the M.M. numbers. There is also no logical explanation why they would mark the stick with the aircraft type "C.202", but nevertheless they did. Focke Wulf did the same and many of the earlier to mid-war Fw 190 sticks had the aircraft's serial number painted on them. I don't say that this is a proof that it was the same with the Folgore stick, but I wouldn't dismiss the possibility neither.
Cheers,
Roger
