The Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario was a monoplane fighter and fighter-bomber designed and produced by the Italian aircraft manufacturer Reggiane. It was principally operated by the Regia Aeronautica during the later years of the Second World War, being the last of the Reggiane aircraft line to enter service during the conflict. Along with the Macchi C.205 Veltro and Fiat G.55 Centauro, the Re.2005 was one of the three Serie 5 Italian fighters. It was specifically designed to be powered by the German-sourced Daimler-Benz DB 605 V-12 inline engine. Entering squadron service in April 1943, the Re.2005 participated in the defense of the Italian homeland, including of Naples, Rome and Sicily. The type garnered a reputation of not only to be one of the best Axis wartime aircraft but also one of the best, if not the best-looking. Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario was produced from 1942 to 1944. The aircraft was operated from 1943 to 1945.
