The Macchi MC 202 is an Italian single-seat fighter plane with a metal structure, in a low wing configuration with a classic tail from the Second World War. The drive unit was the Alfa Romeo RA1000 RC41-1 Monsone engine with a capacity of 1175KM, which is a license version of the German DB-601A engine. Macchi planes formed the backbone of the fighter aviation of Fascist Italy. They fought over Greece, North Africa and Russia. The history of the MC 200 Saetta fighter and its successor MC 202 Folgore began in 1935, when a team of designers led by Eng. Marco Castoldiego began conceptual work on a new, modern fighter plane with a retractable landing gear, an in-flight propeller and a covered cabin. The project called C (Castoldi) 200 was completed the same year. Under the influence of the requirements of the Ministerio dell'Aeronautico specification presented in the spring of the following year, the design was modified by increasing the number of weapons, increasing the flight range and introducing corrections to improve the climbing parameters and maneuverability. Mass production began in the fall of 1938 and was completed 4 years later - after the production of a total of 1,153 airframes - in August 1942. Technical data: length: 8.85m, wingspan: 10.58m, height: 3.03m, maximum speed: 600km / h, rate of climb: 18m / s, maximum range: 756km, maximum ceiling 11000m, armament: fixed - 2 12.7mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, 2 7.7mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, underslung - up to 150 kg of bombs.The Bristol Beaufighter is a British heavy, twin-engined night fighter, attack aircraft and torpedo plane, with a full metal, half-shell structure. It flew for the first time on June 17, 1939, and its serial production started in the same year. During the war, many versions of the Beaufighter were created, including Mk.I, Mk.II, TF Mk.X or TF Mk.XI. The Mk.I version was the first to function as a night fighter and was equipped with the AI Mk. IV. It also had strong armament: 4 20mm cannons and 6 7.7mm MGs. Mk..X version. was the last to be produced in large numbers and combined the advantages of a fighter plane with the strike force of a torpedo bomber. This version was powered by Bristol Hercules XVII engines with a capacity of 1770HP. Bristol Beaufighter planes served a total of 53 squadrons of the RAF, 15 squadrons of the Royal Navy and the Polish 307 Squadron of Lwowskie Puchacze. All versions and models of this plane were not easy to pilot and suffered badly from spinning and problems caused by the failure of one engine. In addition, the Bristol Beaufighter had a very weak rudder which resulted in poor directional stability. Mainly for these reasons, from 1943 they were successively replaced on the front lines by the DeHavilland Mosquito. Technical data: Maximum speed: 512 km / h, speed of climb: 8.17 m / s, maximum ceiling 5800 m, maximum range: 2816 km, armament (hunting version): fixed - 4 20mm Hispano cannons and 6 rifles machine gun caliber 7.7 mm, suspended-up to 906 kg of bombs.
