The Re.2005 Sagittario was one of Italy's apex fighters, entering service in mid-1943, during the Second World War. Yet, despite all the promise, it has remained one of the lesser-known machines of the conflict. How good was it? Could it match a Spitfire? Was it a threat to the allied powers?

Corrections
- My description of the Re.2005 having stability issues is incorrect. Reportedly the Sagittario suffered from flutter, which isn't a stability issue for an aircraft. A definition of flutter can be: "Flutter is a self-excited oscilation that occurs when a lifting surface deflects under aerodynamic load so as to reduce the applied load. Once the load reduces, the deflection also reduces, restoring the original shape, which restores the original load and starts the cycle again."
