The Fiat G.50 Freccia' ("Arrow") was a World War II Italian fighter aircraft. First flown in February 1937, the G.50 was Italy’s first single-seat, all-metal monoplane with an enclosed cockpit and retractable landing gear to go into production. At the beginning of 1938 the Freccia was in service with the Regia Aeronautica and several flew in the Spanish Civil War with Aviazione Legionaria. Armament (two Breda-SAFAT 12,7 mm machine guns) was insufficient, but the aircraft, typical of most Italian design, was very manoeuvrable.
The Fiat G.50 was also used in small numbers by the Finnish Air Force.
