The G.91Y was considerably superior to the earlier versions in almost every aspect. The most noticeable difference are the two J85 engines that replaced the single Bristol Orpheus but there were many more improvements. This one flew for many years with the 101°Gruppo CBR/8°Stormo, of which it displays the symbols on nose and tail respectively.
