EDITORS COMMENTS
11 November 1940: The Fateful Day of the Fiat BR-20M Cigogna's Crash-Landing in Suffolk, UK This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a historic event in the annals of military aviation history. Taken on 11 November 1940, it depicts the wreckage of a damaged Fiat BR-20M Cigogna, an Italian bomber, nestled among the trees of a fir tree plantation forest in Suffolk, England. This image stands as a poignant reminder of one of the first Italian aircraft to be shot down in the UK during the Battle of Britain. The Fiat BR-20M Cigogna, a versatile biplane bomber, was a formidable adversary in the skies above Europe during World War II. However, on this fateful day, it met its end at the hands of a determined RAF Hurricane pilot. The Italian aircraft, having sustained significant damage during the dogfight, was forced to make an emergency landing. The photograph reveals the extent of the damage inflicted upon the BR-20M Cigogna. Its wings are twisted and broken, while its undercarriage appears to be crushed. The once sleek and menacing bomber now lies helpless, a testament to the fierce combat that took place high above the English countryside. The crash site in Suffolk marked a significant moment in the Battle of Britain. It served as a reminder of the relentless air battles that raged above the UK, as well as the tenacity and skill of the RAF pilots who defended their homeland against the onslaught of the Axis Powers. This powerful image, taken from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Second World War. It stands as a testament to the courage and determination of the men and women who fought in the skies above Europe, and the indomitable spirit that defined the Battle of Britain.
