The Macchi M.C. 205 Veltro is considered by many to be the best Italian fighter of the Second World War. The evolution of the “Folgore” maintained the excellent aeronautical design of the predecessor and was equipped, like the other fighters of the “series 5”, with the German engine Daimler-Benz DB605. The powerful 12-cylinder V-shaped engine, also produced under license from Fiat, allowed the Veltro to reach a maximum speed of 640 km/h. Fast, handy and well-armed, with the adoption of 2 12.7 mm machine guns in the snout and 2 20 mm guns in the wings, it was able to fight on par with the best Allied fighters of the period such as the American P-51 Mustang. It entered into line in early 1943 with the Regia Aeronautica. After the armistice of September 8, it was used, until the end of the conflict, both of the flight departments of the Italian Social Republic and by those of the Cobelligerante Air Force.
