Re: Cr42
Well, according to Squadron/Signal 172 Fiat CR 32 / CR 42 in Action:
Serial Numbers
Dates of Production
No. Produced
M.M. 4265-4464
February-December 1939
200
M.M. 4968-5058
December-March 1940
100
According to Ali D'Italia 1 FIAT CR 42 p. 12:
Production for the Regia Aeronautica proceeded at a remarkable pace: 143 aircraft had been completed by 1 November 1939 and 300 by June 1940.
Without better figures it gives an (gu)estimate of between 150 and 200 aircraft accepted by the RA.
Others will certainly be able to give more certain figures.
