Re.2005 - Italy's Beautiful Late War Fighter

Widely considered one of the most beautiful aircraft of the Second World War, the Re.2005 was part of the Series 5 fighters, some of the most advanced aircraft created by Italy during the conflict. However, it had a very short operational life due to Italy's armistice, and as such, it has been many times overlooked.
