Göran Bruun, e-mail, 16.07.2016 18:31 The closed cockpit was a disadvantage causing bad visibility. The closed cockpit was removed in Finland. It was not uncomfortable flying The Fiat G. 50 during wintertime. You could get warm air blowing into the cockpit. My father Carl-Erik Bruun flew the Fiat G. 50 in Finnish Air Force against Sovjet during The WW II.

Klaatu83, e-mail, 26.08.2012 05:06 The photo shows one of the early G-50 fighters with a fully-enclosed cockpit. However, the Italian fighter pilots apparently preferred to fly with the wind in their hair, so most G-50s were built with an old-fashioned open cockpit, as depicted in the three-view drawing. They must have been awfully uncomfortable flying over Finland in the wintertime!

Fernando Diaz, e-mail, 05.01.2007 06:54 Your information is very interesting. Do you know the exact delivery date to the Regia Aeronautica of operational G.50?
