Summary: Macchi C.200 Saetta aircraft Airplane blueprint for the Macchi, C.200, Saetta ... Aviation history and aircraft blueprints/plans. The C.200 was Macchi's first monoplane fighter design. The portly fuselage was so shaped to enable the pilot to get an optimum view over the radial engine. One of their main gripes was the enclosed canopy, which was changed to the more familiar style after the first batch had entered service. Fine for desert conditions, but certainly not for the Russian front! The first squadriglia to receive them passed them to another, as they still favoured their extremely nimble, but hopelessly outclassed Cr.42's! There were various versions of the C.200, but the basic specification remained unchanged throughout its service life.
