Fiat CR.25


The Fiat CR.25 was an Italian twin-engine reconnaissance-bomber fighter aircraft which served in small numbers for the Regia Aeronautica during World War II.
40 CR.25s were ordered after the operative failure of the apparently more promising Breda Ba.88 bomber. Later, it was decided to use the CR.25 as a reconnaissance plane and as escort fighter, with a total of nine aircraft for this role. It was used during the war by the 173a Squadriglia Ricognizione Strategica Terrestre, operating from Sicily. Despite positive reports from the pilots, and a proposal by Fiat to resume production, no further aircraft were produced.
The prototype MM 332, refurbished as personnel transport, was assigned to the Italian embassy in Berlin.)
