In fairness, the Italians made some kick ass fighters.
That is surprising, since the Italian military was so terrible in WWII. I didn’t know about their good aircraft.
True: though the Macchi C.205 was one of the best single-seat fighter craft produced by anybody in WWII, the problem was more one of quantity, rather than quality: Wiki gives the total production of the Veltro at just 262. And they were probably lucky to have gotten to make that many….
