Yes sir. They fought hard despite the equipment they had. it wasn't that they were not brave, their leaders and hardware were usually outmatched by whoever they faced. I love your picture. Good post!

Yes, no doubt they weren't brave, unfortunatly they weren't fighting for the right reasons . And for sure I know their planes were outmatched, Their Caproni Bombers they sold to sweden were very notorious during the war, and their Regia 2000 line of planes was practically stuck in 1935.

I love the camo schemes. Many fight for the wrong reasons sadly. I guess it just depends on what one believes.
