Photo Comment

The aft fuselage of Reggiane 2000-I Falco (or J20 in Swedish air force parlour) is kept inisde Ängelholms Flygmuseum. The Swedish purchases of Italian warplanes from 1939 were an emergency measure, as no other countries were willing to supply aircraft to Sweden, which production did not become sufficient until 1943. The Swedish Air Force purchased 60 Re2000 Serie Is, which received the Swedish designation J20 and were delivered 1941-1943. All served with F10 from Bulltofta near Malmö.
