Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Breda Ba.201 was an Italian dive bomber designed during World War II, that never entered production. The struggle of Regia Aeronautica to develop an effective bomber force was surprising for everyone, as in the pre-war period the Italian air force was highly rated and performed well during the Spanish Civil War and the Second Italo-Abyssinian War. But its performance in the first months of World War II was poor, even failing to reduce Malta with 1,000 bombers based less than 100 km (60 mi) away. One of the reasons was the lack of dive bombers and effective ground-attack aircraft; the Breda Ba.88 was a failure, and the Caproni Ca.310 was so ineffective that was replaced by the Fiat CR.32 fighter bomber. Another failure was the Savoia-Marchetti SM.85 dive bomber, phased out and replaced by the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka even before the evaluation of its successor the Savoia-Marchetti SM.86 was complete.
