Fiat Aviazione was an Italian
aircraft manufacturer, at one time part of the Fiat group, focused
mainly on military aviation. After World War I, Fiat consolidated
several Italian small aircraft manufacturers, like Pomilio and
Ansaldo. Most famous were the Fiat biplane fighter aircraft of
the 1930s, the Fiat CR.32 and the Fiat CR.42. Other notable designs
were the fighters CR.20, G.50, G.55 and a bomber, the Fiat BR.20.
In the 1950s, the company designed the G.91 light ground attack
plane. In 1969, Fiat Aviazione merged with Aerfer to create Aeritalia,
which would become Alenia Aeronautica in 1990. |
