I.A.R. 80A

Last crawled date: 4 years ago

The IAR 80 was a Romanian World War II low-wing, monoplane, all-metal construction fighter aircraft. When first flown in 1938, it was competitive with most of the contemporary designs, like the German Bf-109E, the British Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire. It entered service in 1942, and although there were plans to replace it fairly quickly it was forced to remain in front-line use until 1944, by which point it was entirely outdated. #AIRCRAFT #AIRPLANE #IAR #IAR_80 #LU #PLANE #WW2 #wwii
