Fiat R.2

Seeking to distance itself from the S.I.A. 7b, the company renamed itself Fiat Aviazione and redesigned the 7b with a new airframe and similar wings, in the form of the Fiat R.2.

A handful of Fiat R.2 biplanes reached 23ª Squadriglia before the Armistice and saw some service during the final offensives.

While it has seen service only in the last weeks of WWI, the R.2 served in numbers with the Italian air force until the mid-1920s.
