Its sleek all-metal construction and impressive prototype performance generated considerable expectations, and the type set several international speed records before entering production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperational service, however, proved far less successful. Increased weight from military equipment and armament significantly reduced performance, particularly in the harsh conditions of North Africa, where the aircraft struggled with reliability and handling.
