OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES 94:
FIAT CR.32 ACES OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR
by Alfredo Logoluso
During General Franco’s fight with the Republicans for the
control of Spain from 1936 – 39, no fewer than 477 CR.32s were
involved, with an astounding 709 confirmed aerial victories, and
an additional 320 kills claimed, for just 62 losses. As these
statistics reveal, the CR.32 was the unrivalled master of the
skies over Spain. By the war’s end, the five leading aces of the
conflict were all Spanish CR.32 pilots. Their exploits, and those
of the other leading CR.32 aces, are examined for the first time
in English in this exciting volume.
