The Macchi C.205 Veltro (Italian for "Greyhound") was one of the most capable and potent Italian fighters of World War II. Developed by Aeronautica Macchi, the C.205 was a refinement of the earlier C.202 Folgore, featuring a more powerful engine and improved armament.

Known for its excellent maneuverability, high speed, and robustness, the Veltro was highly respected by both its pilots and adversaries. It was equipped with a combination of machine guns and cannons, providing formidable firepower. The C.205 saw significant action primarily on the Italian and Mediterranean fronts, proving to be a match for contemporary Allied fighter aircraft. Despite its late entry into the war and limited production numbers, the Macchi C.205 Veltro's performance made a lasting impression, securing its place as one of the finest fighters in the Axis air forces. The aircraft's design, combat history, and the role it played in the Italian Air Force during WWII make it a fascinating subject for military aviation enthusiasts and model collectors, especially those with an interest in the air warfare of the Mediterranean theater.
