Re: Fiat CR-32 production batches
Hi
The Italian Airforce in Spain is covered in PRO docs HW21/1 etc. I don't know if this helps but an inventory on 7/4/37 states 45 CR-42 delivered by ship "Aniene" and under construction. It appears that these were provided in parts and assembled in Spain. Perhaps this could explain the difference dates for c/n.
As an aside I was at the PRO yesterday and looking at 11/43 files and many Italian a/c listed as being taken over by the LW. My query is with a typical item i.e CR 42 works number 8905 taken over. Was this the actual works number or was it the MM*** number. Works numbers are given for many Italian types but I suspect that these were all MM*** serials
Regards
Tony
