This list covers aircraft that served in the Regia Aeronautica during the Second World War 1940 to 1945.
Correctly naming the WW2 era Italian aircraft can be very tricky, as in many cases conflicting naming procedures were used for the same aircraft even in official documents and in the factory names painted on the airframes. So there is ample evidence (both documental and photographic) to support several different "official" naming conventions. Just to name a few examples :
The names listed are therefore the most commonly used in english language, but several other different naming styles could claim to be at least as much correct, or even more so.
Only the "official" versions are listed, but different production batches could sometimes have rather major differences from the basic model. The airplanes that did not proceded beyond the prototypes stage are listed in boldface.
