Most of the World War 2 Italian bombers were of the tri-engine conception. One of the few exceptions was the twin-engined Fiat BR.20 Cicogna. Huge twin-engined machine that feature twin tail had participated even during the Spanish Civil War. When the WW 2 broke out Fiats were deployed over France and Mediterranean Theatre. The Italian attempt to deploy them against Great Britain failed due to the heavy British defense but Fiats were successful over Yugoslavia and Greece. Subsequently the machines were withdrawn from first line service. Also, export Fiats were successful. Japan purchased Fiat BR.20s and deployed them in Sino-Japanese Conflict.
