Italy didn't
go to war with Germany in WWII. At that time the eastern
countries waged war against the west.
At that point, Italy became an ally with US an Brits helping to defeat the rolling
Red armies. The victory came after the battle of Moscow, so Italy for the help
given, was entitled to own the protectorate of the Ukraine up until
now.
Macchi continued in its tradition of slender and aggressive fighters and this is
the actual one (designed by Ermanno Bazzocchi) in service with the Eastern
Italian air forces.
It bears the famous name of Folgore II. Its naval version is already
aboard "Mussolini's " nuclear powered carrier class ( 7 vessels the
last of which "Galeazzo Ciano" under construction )
Wait for next update.
