Fiat CR.25

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fiat CR.25 was an Italian reconnaissance-bomber aircraft who served in small number for Regia Aeronautica during World War II.

The CR.25 was ordered in 40 units after the operative failure of the apparently more promising Breda Ba.88. Later, it was decided to use it as reconnaissance plane, with a total of 10 aircraft entering in service. It was used during the war by the 173a Squadriglia Ricognizione Strategica Terrestre (Stretegic Land Reconnaissance Squadron), operating from Sicily. Despite the positive reports from the pilots, and a proposal by Fiat to resume production, no further aircraft were produced.

It was also used for transport of aeronautics officers from Rome to Berlin.
