Цельнометаллический моноплан с закрытой кабиной и убирающимся шасси с хвостовым колесом. Спроектирован в КБ фирмы ФИАТ под руководством Дж.Габриэлли. Первый полет опытный образец самолета совершил 30 апреля 1942 г. Серийно строился заводами ФИАТ в Турине с июня 1943 г. Всего изготовлено 164 экз. Вооружение истребителя 3x20+2x12,7. Первая серия имела импортные моторы DB605A, вторая - лицензионные RA.1050RC.58; самолеты, собранные в Турине после раскола Италии, также оснащались DB605A. G.55 применялся с июня 1943 г. в частях ПВО, после раскола - на обеих сторонах. Производство велось под контролем немцев до апреля 1944 г., затем было возобновлено в 1947 - 1948 гг. (модификации для учебных целей). Авиация пронемецкой "республики Сало" сняла G.55 с вооружения в августе 1944 г.

Aviation Historian 10 / G.Alegi - How not to choose a Fighter
In contrast to the MC.205, the Fiat G.55 was a clean-sheet design, which made it better suited to further evolution (including the fitting of the more powerful DB 603 engine as the G.56), but also meant longer development and tooling times. This is the prototype G.55, which made its first flight on April 30, 1942.

Air Enthusiast 1994-09 / D.Nicolle - Arab-Italian Fighters
The first batch of Fiat G.55 fighters delivered to the Syrian Air Force in 1950. Although all the aircraft have light earth and green upper surface, and sky-blue undersides, at least two still lack SAF roundels. The serial number of the closest machine, in small white Arab numerals near the tip of the tail fin, appears to be 110.

Air Enthusiast 1994-09 / D.Nicolle - Arab-Italian Fighters
Fiat G.55 of 5 Squadron REAF after it had landed short of fuel at RAF Faid in the Suez Canal Zone in the last week of 1948. Like the Macchi MC.205 which was similarly obliged to land at Faid, this Fiat has RAF Desert Air Force camouflage, a black-outlined white fuselage band, and black and white wingtip stripes. The latter went around both the upper and lower surfaces. The serial number barely visible on the fuselage band is 1260 in Arab numerals.

One of the Fiat G.55B two-seater conversion trainers sold to Egypt. Like the Macchis, the Fiats were delivered to Egypt in an overall silver finish with the crescent and stars missing from the central discs of their roundels.
