Without warning, the RHAF's paltry fleet was pitted against the much larger and more advanced Regia Aeronautica, whose pilots had recently honed their skills in the Spanish Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough the British Royal Air Force gave whatever assistance it could, the aerial war was unequal from the beginning.
