FIAT G55 SERIE I - SOTTOSERIE 0
Aviazione Nazionale Repubblicana "1 Giallo"
CFS3 - V2.83.59
AvHistory 1% Aircraft General Statement and Installation Instructions
It is the intention of the AvHistory 1% project to over time build the most accurate aircraft that the CFS3 software can support. The development of a 1% aircraft requires specific and in many cases dramatic changes to the aircraft delivered with the MS game as well as the addition of aircraft built from the ground up by third parties which were never included in the original MS game. We believe that because the AvHistory 1% aircraft are materially different they should not be mixed with "box stock" aircraft in online combat.
All the planes 1% listed for download are qualified for use in our AvHistory William Tell Meet Air Combat Ladder. For information and to get the sign up sheet for the ladder please go to the LINKS section at http://www.avhistory.org

FIAT G-55/SS0-B CENTAURO
This aircraft was built by SARGE using version 2.83.58 of the AvHistory 1% Assembly Line process. The 1% version of this plane is based on Giovanni "Nanni" A. Cignoni's outstanding original G-55 visual. There are two models of the G55 Series I - Sottoserie 0 A&B :
A - G55 Serie I - Sottoserie 0, Regia Aereonautica "353 12".
B - G55 Serie I - Sottoserie 0, Aviazione Nazionale Repubblicana "1 Giallo".
This aircraft is MM 91058, Aviazione Nazionale Repubblicana "1 Giallo". The other aircraft MM 91059 "353 12" delivered to RA in August 1943 has also been released as a 1% model. In addition to the skins the aircraft are different in their flying/damage model. The "1 giallo" is one of the most portrayed G55's, as it was used to take the pictures for a report in an aviation magazine.
The historical paint represents the G55 MM 91058 - Yellow "1" - which was the personal aircraft of Sgt. Pilota Rolando Ancillotti of the 2nd Squadron "Diavoli Rossi" (Red Devils) of the 2nd Group Hunting, based near Milan at Bresso in April 1944.
This aircraft was not delivered to Regia Aeronautica but remained at Fiat/Aeritalia; after the Armistice the plants went under control of the German authorities. The aircraft was originally painted with German insignias by the German controlled Fiat/Aeritalia factories in Turin before being delivered to the ANR and repainted. Interesting note, Sgt. Pilota Rolando Ancillotti had been shot down while flying a Bf-109.
The Fiat G-55 Centauro, arguably the best Italian production fighter of the Second World War, was designed around requirements issued by the Direzione Generale Costruzioni of the Ministero in 1941, which intended to provide the Regia Aeronautica with a first line fighter equal to any being produced by the Allies.
Fiat reinstalled the G.55 assembly line after the war, using wartime manufactured assemblies and components to produce the G.55A single seat fighter/advanced trainer of which the prototype was first flown on 5 September 1946. The Italian Aeronautica Militaire procured 19 G.55As and 30 were supplied to Argentina, which returned 17 in 1948 for resale to Egypt, The Italian Aeronautica Militaire acquired 10 of these, and 15 were sold to Argentina in 1948.
