Re: USAAF Fiat CR.42

Nice find Clint

Never seen or heard of a USAAF CR.42 before.
Clearly the same aircraft which for some reason they want to get onboard the truck in question.

Since I can't see any particular intelligence use of the aircraft, perhaps it was another try from some unit to get an aircraft to have some fun with?
Seems to me like the US forces just loved to put their "stamp" on anything they could lay their hands on

There are other aircraft captured by the US during the war which never made it into any official documents. Most probably left to rot when they departed.

Cheers
Stig
