Description

This book covers virtually every aspect of the Macchi C.202 Folgore fighter. It is generally well-organized and easy to follow, impressively so because of the fact that three different authors, with varying backgrounds and writing styles, collaborated to produce this book. It would appear that the book covers virtually every combat engagement of the C.202 throughout the war, to the point that at times it may seem that the detail provided is excessive. I have read may accounts, both in English and Italian, regarding the C.202, but this is unquestionably the best “story” of this excellent aircraft. Particularly enlightening was the description of just how few C.202s were sent to the Russian front and how few sorties they actually flew.
