Description
The Fiat CR.32 was a pre-war Italian biplane fighter that first saw service in China and the Spanish Civil War, remaining active into WW2.
It was used by the air forces of Argentina, Austria, China, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Paraguay, Spain, and Venezuela. It was one of the best biplanes fighters around, but quickly became overshadowed by the new monoplane designs at the beginning of the war.
Various improved versions were made, but by 1942 it was limited to night operations.
The CR.32 was armed with 2 x 7.7mm or 2 x 12.7mm machine guns. The CR.32 bis was armed with 2 x 7.7mm and 2 x 12.7mm machine guns, with provision for small bomb racks.
This example is a CR.32 of X Grupo Spanish Nationalist Air Force circa 1937.

Great picture.
I've actually started to have a great interest in the Spanish Civil War latelly, and these come quite handy.
