In response to a 1953 NATO specification for a light strike fighter having rough field capability yet still be capable of 0.92 mach, Fiat proposed the F-86 Sabre inspired G-91. Despite the loss of the prototype on it's first flight, an accident which would cause the French to refuse to purchase the aircraft, the G91 entered production for the Italian air force. While the design was intened to be used by all the NATO coutries, only Italy and Germany eventually acquired the design. 98 G91R/1 , 1A and 1B plus 76 G91T/1 were procured by Italy. Germany acquired 50 R/3, 44 T/3 and 50 R/4 while a further 294 were built by Messerschmitt (later MBB), Heinkel (later VFW-Fokker), and Dornier.The Aeritalia(Fiat) G91Y is basically a twin-engined modification of the G91. It's based on the G91T airframe, but has been extensively modified to incorporate the latest aerodynamic advances and avionics, as well as an integrated navigation/attack system.
