    A small number of Macchi C.205s were used by the Luftwaffe, primarily by II./JG77 in northern Italy. German interest stemmed from the aircraft’s high performance.II./JG 77 operated Macchi C.205Vs from Oct until Dec 1943 then re-equipped with Bf109s.

Re-arming to took too long, making it difficult to turn-around aircraft quickly. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/macchi-c-205-in-german-service/ #aeroplane #aviation #Luftwaffe #MacchiC205
