Hi Kitty

Is this caption correct?

The G 55 had the DB605 which continued in production post WW2 until the engine supply ran out. They then used Merlins as a replacement with the aircraft designated G 59. Some G 59 were I believe converted G 55, is this one of them and therefore retains the G 55 designation?

Cliff, you make fair comment and I'm looking into it.
In truth, I have general knowledge of ww2 aircraft but not to your extent.
I tend to take things on face value unless it is shown otherwise.
I think I may have been able to piece it all together, see below.

Here is a Fiat G.55 as listed with Wikipedia and we can all see the difference.

If you scroll down the page to the second image, I'm thinking that is taken from the same place as the first image ............. notice the crane? Beside myself, somebody has messed up.
Thanks for your help.
