This is the mount of Capitano Ugo Drago while he was serving as Commanding Officer of 1a Squadriglia, IIoGruppo Caccia at Cascina Vaga, May 1944. Drago had scored 4 victories while flying the CR.42 biplane early in the war, and eventually was credited with 17 aerial victories. 11 of his victories were scored while flying with the ANR. Drago survived the war and immigrated to Argentina.








Italian aircraft have such a great look about them, great lines, etc., but with this striking scheme, it just looks amazing. Very colorful IMHO.
