The Italians are testing their Reggiane Re 2001, which among other advances
uses the same engine, the DB 601, as the German Bf 109. This is the remains
of the 14th test flight today. The second prototype, MM408, crashes and kills
the test pilot, Pietro Scapinelli. The crash is ascribed to a faulty airscrew pitch.
Alfa Romeo is judged guilty and must pay a large fine. These "second-generation"
fighters of the Regia Aeronautica hold great promise and are a major upgrade
for the Italian air force.
