das Fiat G.91 ein italienisches Düsenjagdflugzeug wurde von Fiat Aviazione entwickelt und gebaut. Die G.91 hat ihren Ursprung in dem von der NATO organisierten NBMR-1-Wettbewerb im Jahr 1953, der einen leichten Jagdbomber "Light Weight Strike Fighter" suchte, der als Standardausrüstung über die Luftstreitkräfte der verschiedenen NATO-Nationen hinweg angenommen werden sollte. Nach Prüfung mehrerer Einreichungen wurde die G.91 als Siegerentwurf des NBMR-1-Wettbewerbs ausgewählt.
The Fiat G.91 was a lightweight, low-cost jet fighter designed in Italy to fulfill a NATO requirement for a “Light Weight Strike Fighter” (LWFS) in the 1950s. The G.91R/3 was the primary variant procured by the West German Air Force (Luftwaffe). The ‘R’ designation signifies its primary role in tactical reconnaissance, achieved by installing a camera nose section containing three Vinten cameras. The G.91R/3 also retained substantial ground attack capabilities, making it a versatile light fighter-bomber. It was rugged, simple to maintain, and capable of operating from rough forward airstrips, fitting the original NATO doctrine for decentralized combat operations. It became the backbone of the Luftwaffe’s light attack force for two decades.
