That is true, after the disasters, Stalin laid off a bit, but I think that may be one reason why the Soviet military was behind so many others of the time.

Boris Ivanovich Cheranovskij's aircraft are cool
Particularly this prewar- the Batplane It had two 80mm recoilless cannons{!} in wings, out of the propeller arch.
BICh-17 [Unfortunate abbreviation]
and this postwar
BICh-26

Although they were used to defend Dornier factories late war I belive.
I would have like to see the CANT Z.1018 Night Fighter to see service. As Piaggio said the AS.14 would have been good too

Plan_D it was not just the Red Armie's head, but realy it's heart. A lot of young and talented officers were just taken a way or so crippled that they became unable to lead well. But oly the Russians would have some of the best planes designed from prision camps.
Italian nightfighters, they would be like the day fighters, good, but not in time or quantity, and then no pilots to crew them

Im not sure. I dont actually think they had any real night fighters, they probably just sent up day fighters.

if they sent up anything at all..........
i doubt the italains had any of their own radars, i reckon if they had any at all they'd be german........

Probably, but it makes sense. Italian designs + German mechanics made for a stunning package in most cases.

yes but it's better not to rely on other countries, what if you get cut off?? that's why it was so important to protect our convoys........

But for them it doesnt have to travel very far in what was anyway an axis occupied europe.
Yes the Do-335 was used for defence of the Dornier Factories. I do not know what kind of combat it saw though, if it even saw any. Here is some interesting info on the Do-335 though:

CC, it was more a case of Italian aircraft designers+German engine designers to produce a good Italian plane
I agree with you Plan_D. The Italians had some good designs but overall I am not very impressed with the most of there designs.
