Fiat G.91 "Gina" History:

The Fiat G.91, nicknamed Gina, was an Italian fighter aircraft that was intended to serve as standard equipment for NATO air forces in the 1960s. It was eventually only adopted by three - the Italian Air Force, West Germany's Luftwaffe, and the Portuguese Air Force - but enjoyed a long service life that extended over 35 years. It was widely used by Portugal in the Portuguese Colonial War in Africa.

The first G.91s entered service in August 1958, with 103mo Gruppo, 5a Aerobrigata, called "Caccia Tattici Leggeri (CTL)", based at Pratica di Mare, the same with Reparto Sperimentale di Volo. The next operational unit was 14mo Gruppo, Seconda Aerobrigata in 1961. This unit had its role shifted to tactical support, because her groups were 14mo, 103mo (dispatched from 5 A/B to this Aerobrigade) and 13mo (only in reserve). All them were based at Treviso-Sant'Angelo.

The differences in firepower (two 30-mm DEFA guns, four underwing pylons) and improved avionics made the German machines far more effective than Italian examples, even if they were heavier. In addition, mass-production made the G.91 force more credible. The first examples, 12 Fiat-Aeritalias built aircraft, were delivered to Aufklarungsgeschwader (AG)53 for training and experiments. This unit was based at Erding, near Munich along with Waffenschule 50. Already in 20 July 1960 the first Dornier was tested.
