Does anyone have some more information on certain Italian engines, especially the Piaggio ones?
I'm thinking of the Piaggio P.XII, P.XIX, P.XV, P.XXII but also the Fiat A.82 and Alfa Romeo 135 Tornado. I know about their power but I especially would like to know what engines they were derived from, their reliability and in case of the P.XV and P.XXII their projected use.

Griffon engined Spitfires in 1942 ? Bullockracing, you may want to re-evaluate the reliability of your source, cause there were certainly no Griffon engined Spitfire's around in 42.
I think the Italian fighters could have easily dealt with the bombers.
Italian fighters are notoriously underpowered when it comes to firepower, I disagree.
