NOTES AND VARIANTS
Breda Ba.27: Available 1934. Initial prototype of mixed construction (5/7
damage). Same engine with 2-blade wooden prop (-1 power in all bands).
Pilot seat far back along fuselage (cockpit view: Poor).
Breda Ba.27M: Available 1936. This all-metal (M for Metallico), braced
monoplane fighter resembled the US P-26 Peashooter, but was of inferior
performance. They were (briefly) stablemates in China, where the Ba.27M
equipped the 29th squadron of the 3rd Fighter Group in 1936, while the other
two squarons were equipped with P-26s. The Regia Aeronautica passed, as
there was not enough improvement over the contenporary CR.32. 18 ordered
by China, but only 11 were delivered and assembled at the SIWAH plant in
China. Telescopic sight, fixed gear, open cockpit.

NOTES AND VARIANTS
SIAI Amrosini S.S.4: Available June 1939. Canard-pusher fighter design
similar to US P-55 Ascender or Japanese J7W (but flown years earlier). Test
flights showed definite advantages to this design, including good maneuverability,
but in 1939, the RA’s design board was satisfied with its CR.42
biplane, and were put off by the comparative difficulty in manufacturing the
SS4 due to its all-metal construction and odd metal shapes. When the sole
example crashed when landing after an engine failure, the program lapsed.
Armament was probably never mounted; certainly the RA did not use a
20mm or 30mm cannon at the time.
Canard: Pull transitions and positive G turns can be made at 0.5 speed less
than listed minimum speed.
Engine in Rear: Reverse the critical hit location mods related to angle.

Piaggio P.119: Available February, 1943. Mid-engine - yes, radial engine buried
in the fuselage - fighter design developed for high maneuverability. Testflown
for about 6 months starting in mid-1942. Design looked viable,but test
program and production preparation slowed during 1943 and ended at surrender.
1 built.
Critical Hits: Use same mods as for P-39 when determing critical hits.
