The Macchi C.202 Folgore helped eliminate the Italian Air Forces performance shortcomings, but the Italians knew they were still not packing enough punch to bring big fighters and bombers down. Their solution was to equip a substantially redesigned C.202 airframe with a powerful new DB 605 engine, two .50 cal (12.7 mm) machine guns and two 20mm cannons. With that much muscle behind it, the Veltro was considered by its designers to be a match for the P-51 Mustang. Unfortunately for the Italians, they simply couldn't get enough Veltros in the air. Only 262 were produced.
