Hello All.

Does anyone have any information as to whether the Belgian Fiat CR.42s were equipped with Italian Breda-SAFAT 12.7mm heavy machine guns or the Belgian-made FN-Browning 13.2mm hmg's?

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks for the speedy reply, Alain.

Can you tell me the source of your information, so I can do some follow-up investigating?
