When I came to copy edit it, I was expecting an article about an aircraft. Instead, it's a mind-numbingly tedious enumeration of how many aircraft (not only G.50s) belonged to which stormi and gruppi, who their pilots were, who got shot down by whom, where they were stationed, etc etc etc. Needs rewriting to focus on the aircraft. --Stfg (talk) 19:43, 20 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've completed a copy edit anyway. But I think it still needs to be more focussed on the aircraft and lesson the above things. --Stfg (talk) 14:38, 21 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Fiat G.50

edit

The first aerial victory of a Fiat G.50 already took place on 01.21.1941. Hurricane I P2639 P.O. Wainwright was shot down by a G.50. The ital. Pilot was Ser. Magg. Antonio Patriarca. A G.50 was damaged in this air combat.

Freccia in Finnish colors

edit

I doubt whether the photograph of the Freccia in Finnish Air Force colors ("Fiat G.50 in Finnish markings, c. 1940") could be from 1940. The aircraft has German-style yellow "Eastern Front" identification bands on the nose and fuselage, and to my knowledge these were only applied during the Continuation War, beginning in the summer of 1941.--Death Bredon (talk) 21:34, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
