The early history of this airplane is obscure, but it was among many Axis aircraft brought to this country for evaluation at the Army's Air Technical Service Command at Wright Field, Ohio, and Freeman Field, Indiana. A total of about 1,500 aircraft were built, of which 392 were built by Macchi and the rest by Breda. No record is known of the original markings and but curators chose to copy aircraft 90-4 of the 4º Stormo (Wing), 10º Gruppo (Squadron), and 90º Squadriglia (Flight) that operated in Libya during the summer of 1942. The control lock up was already mentioned and must always be considered. Our scientists are involved in current research focused on the Martian climate and geology. Flat out, the Folgore was almost 97 kph (60 mph) faster than the Saeta's speed of 502 kph (312 mph). After the year 1943, the aircraft was used as a trainer in the Italian Social Republic. The C.202 Folgore is a rank II Italian fighter with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB/SB).

While diving on your chosen target, be mindful of your speed: the Folgore's rate of roll becomes considerably worse when you hit 600 km/h, so its a good idea to cut throttle at the final part of your dive slowing your acceleration down by a bit.
