"Irish linen" was used way before WW2I thought the British used something called "Irish linen".
One of the horrors of war is that materials that look nifty of women get reserved for something military.
I never meant to insult them. I don't pick the mk1 hurricanes and spits because of the g issue that caused fuel starving. They were both great planes mk2 hurricane is one of my favorites but from the time period in question i don't pick them till the fuel issue is fixed. I'm very sorry i upset you i hope you accept my apology.Really? You include the G-50 in a list of the four "best fighters hailing from this time" but you don't include the Spitfire?
Even the Hurricane was far better than the G-50 - faster, higher ceiling, longer range, more firepower.
The G-50 was used in the Battle of Britain, in 429 missions it failed to engage the enemy once.I never meant to insult them.

That is an interesting question, can you shed any light on what style of carburetor the Fiat A.74 used?the "g issue" was common at all fighters in the timeline, excluding the germans
Well, not a good record for an "escort fighter".The G-50 was used in the Battle of Britain, in 429 missions it failed to engage the enemy once.
Many nations, both Axis and Allied, manufactured engines and components under license right up to, and in some cases, during WWII.That is an interesting question, can you shed any light on what style of carburetor the Fiat A.74 used?
Wikipedia says it was a Stromberg, then links to the Bendix-Stromberg pressure carb, but I would be surprised if Bendix was selling any pressure carbs over-seas at that point.
I Believe the Italians used Hamilton Standard constant speed propellers?Many nations, both Axis and Allied, manufactured engines and components under license right up to, and in some cases, during WWII.

I do recall reading that some time back, and if I remember right, the G.50 even had an H-S prop.I Believe the Italians used Hamilton Standard constant speed propellers?
Reading the wiki page, it had no influence on the battle in any way, positive or negative.Well, not a good record for an "escort fighter".
Granted, but the pressure carburetor was a relatively new invention at that point, so I wonder if perhaps Fiat was using licensed (or unlicensed) float type Bendix carbs, of an earlier design.Many nations, both Axis and Allied, manufactured engines and components under license right up to, and in some cases, during WWII.

As far as I can tell, the NAY-9A is a float type carb, and thus would be subject to negative G fuel starvationBMW was using the licence-produced Stromberg NAY-9A carbs on their 132s (off-springs from the P&W Hornet).

The Corpo Aero Italiano (based out of Belgium) was involved in the Battle.of Britain from 25 October 1940 to 3 January 1941.429 sorties ? The Italian involvement in the BoB was not hundreds of missions, surely?
