Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario

Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario

First flying in May 1942, with production examples entering service in May 1943, the Regianne Re.2005 was a single-seat Italian fighter. Powered by the Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine, it suffered from a rear fuselage weakness which limited its true airspeed to 410mph to avoid flutter and potential failure of the structure.

Only 48 were delivered before the armistice, most of which were destroyed in combat or in bombing raids. Six were used by the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana (ANR) the air force of the German allied Italian Social Republic. Another thirteen were used by the Luftwaffe.
