I am currently researching axis aircraft instruments and equipment, I have managed to locate instrument panel pictures, drawings, RLM datenblätter books etc ..that have given me a very good insight into German instruments and some data on Japanese (another book on order should give more complete picture). However the Italian aircraft have got me stumped!
In a German Illustrated Parts Catalog the Instruments fitted to a particular aircraft are listed by FL number which when cross referenced with RLM books or cockpitinstrumente.de website gives complete picture. Also found a Japanese instrument site again that provides more detail.but...no italian website!
My italian in very poor and I have to use google translate but even so have still managed to stumble on anything useful. I purchased IPCs, and Maint Manuals for the Macchi Mc200 and 202/205 but again I come to a dead end. The instruments are given a Catalogo Numero by the Regia Aeronautica. I imagine this is like the FL numbers issued by the RLM in Germany. I have not managed to find any reference material to complete my studies.
I am seeking detailed cockpit pictures of the Fiat CR42, G.50, Macchi 200/202 and 205 to start. I would also like scale drawings for instrument panels again I have the catalogo numero but no references. If anyone can help with detailed references for Italian Instruments and cockpit equipment of WW2 I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
