Veltro! by Dan Zoernig
June, 1944. Sergente Maggiore Luigi Gorrini 1st Gruppo, 1st Squadriglia ANR engages P-47 Thunderbolts over the Italian mainland. A combat veteran since 1939, Gorrini began his career flying the Fiat CR 42 scoring twice in that aircraft. He also went on to fly the Macchi MC 202, the Fiat G.55 and here the Macchi MC 205 Veltro. His war record shows a total of 19.5 aerial victories, most of them in Serie 5 fighters. Unquestionably one of the most beautiful and powerful Italian designs of the war, the Macchi Veltro was powered by the Fiat 1475 hp Fiat RA.1050 RC 58 Tifone engine, and carried 2 Breda-Safat 12.7mm machine guns as well as a pair of Mauser 151 20mm cannon.
