The Fiat CR.30 was soon superseded by the more refined CR.32, which made its appearance in 1933. It was considerably faster than the CR.30 and much more manoeuvrable. Delivery of the first series (383 aircraft) began in 1935, this being followed by 328 examples of the improved CR.32bis. Two
more variants, the CR.32ter (100 aircraft) and CR.32quater (401) were produced, these differing in armament and airframe detail. Total production of the CR.32 consequently amounted to 1212 aircraft, making it numerically the most important biplane of its era. It was used extensively in the Spanish Civil War and in the early months of World War II in Greece and East Africa.
