Not really, they didnt have the resources to produce in large numbers. The Fiat CR.42 was their most numerous fighter, how many were built? ~1700. The Fiat BR.20 their most produced bomber. How many? ~2500. They did build some great planes but only in the hundreds, and most never even saw service because of the surrender on Sept 3rd 1943. If they hadnt surrendered, there would have been loads more top quality planes.
 
hang on, they couldn't produce the same plane in large quantities?? but they could produce lots of different planes in small numbers, that makes little sence as producing one plane is easier than producing lots of different planes.........
 
I know. But if they had the ability to produce planes in large numbers they would have done. I dont think it was their decision to produce them in that way. Still, it means lots of nice prototypes with impressive stats to ogle about

But the Italian planes were built with a passion and elegance that is rivalled by no other country.

I happen to disagree, the Germans had a very distinctive elegance to there aircraft, however as was stated this does not win wars.
