The Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force was formed in October 1943 after the Italian armistice a month earlier. The Italian pilots now flew for the Allies and in June and July 1944 received 75 former USAAF 332nd Fighter Group P-39Qs. These aircraft equipped the Gruppi 9� and 10� of 4� Stormo and the name J. Baracca was to honor an Italian Ace
from WWI. The black prancing horse was used because it was Baracca�s aircraft emblem. This horse emblem would go on to become the famous Ferrari emblem.
