OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES 106:
SPANISH REPUBLICAN ACES
by Rafael Lopez
At the start of the Spanish Civil War, most young fighter pilot
officers joined the rebels, while the high ranking officers,
grupo or escuadrilla commanders, and the NCOs, sergeants and
corporals remained loyal to the government. Mostly flying
obsolete Nieuport Ni.52s they were soon outpaced by the more
modern Fiat CR.32s and Heinkel He 51s. However, at this early
stage of the war, there were several Republican airmen who
became aces. This volume details the exploits of those pilots,
complementing previous works in the Osprey Aircraft of the Aces
series on Nationalist CR.32 Aces and Polikarpov I-15, I-16 and
I-152 Aces.
