The Fiat G.55S (silurante, meaning torpedo-carrier) was an experimental torpedo-fighter derivative of the Italian Fiat G.55 Centauro. To accommodate the torpedo, engineers significantly altered the aircraft’s underside configuration. The original ventral radiator was divided into two smaller radiators under the wing roots, creating space beneath the fuselage for torpedo attachment racks. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/fiat-g-55s-torpedo-fighter/ #aviation #FiatG55S #FiatG55 #RegiaAeronautica #aeroplane #airplane #TorpedoFighter
