Description
The Reggiane Re.2000 was an Italian WWII fighter. The GA (Grande Autonomia) Serie III variant, developed in 1941, had fixed cannon armament, a non-retractable tailwheel, and extra wing tanks for a 1,030 km range. Fifty were built, with 12 sent to Hungary in 1942. Used on the Eastern Front from 1943–44, they claimed 11 victories for 7 losses. Known as "Héja" (Hawk), the aircraft was rugged and agile at low altitudes, and popular with Hungarian pilots. At least three also served with Swedish F19 volunteers in Finland.
