The Prancing Horse was used by which top Italian fighter ace?
Prancing Horse The Prancing Horse (Italian: "Cavallino Rampante" , 'little prancing horse' ) is the symbol of Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari and its racing division Scuderia Ferrari. Originally, the symbol was used by World War I pilot Francesco Baracca on his airplane.
Fiat G.50 The Fiat G.50 "Freccia" ("Arrow") was a World War II Italian fighter aircraft. First flown in February 1937, the G.50 was Italy’s first single-seat, all-metal monoplane with an enclosed cockpit and retractable undercarriage to go into production. In early 1938, the "Freccias" served in the "Regia Aeronautica" (the Italian Air Force), and with its expeditionary arm, the "Aviazione Legionaria", in Spain, where they proved to be fast and, as with most Italian designs, very manoeuvrable. However, it had inadequate weaponry (two Breda-SAFAT 12.7-mm machine guns). The Fiat G.50 was also used in small numbers by the Croatian Air Force and 35 were shipped to Finland, where they served with distinction, with an unprecedented kill/loss ratio of 33/1.
