- Ba.88 is a twin-engine fighter-bomber developed by the Italian company Breda.
- Originally developed as a high-speed fighter, mass production was ordered as a symbol of the modernization of the Italian Air Force, but production was discontinued because the performance deteriorated when equipped with armament.
- The first flight was in 1936, and the following year it set world speed records on a 100km course and a 1000km course.
- Production began in 1939 and was discontinued in 1940, so only 149 aircraft were produced.
- It first flew in 1936 with an aircraft that follows the flow of twin-engine fighters that were developed around the world in the 1930s.
- The prototype aircraft demonstrated a speed of over 500 km, and the record aircraft with a higher output engine broke the world record at the time.
- Italy adopted this aircraft and mass-produced it, but its performance deteriorated when it was equipped with combat equipment, and it could not be used as a fighter, so it was used as an attack aircraft.
- However, its performance as an attack aircraft was poor and it ended up being used as a ground dummy.
