Re: Fiat CR.32

Back in the 1970's Giorgio Apostolo in his Aerofan also published the last batch of CR.32quater as MM4618-4667
However he states they were delivered between May and August 1939 and NOT in 1940.
Since the CR.32 at that time was completely outclassed even by its younger brother the CR.42, it seems this order was done to use them as advanced trainers, but the Italians were indeed slow to appreciate the advances of the monoplanes so it's not impossible they were bought to actually BE used by fronline units, although I doubt they were actually used in combat
