1. This quote is in the 'Development' section:

"powered by more powerful 560 kW (750 hp) Alfa Romeo 126 RC.34 nine cylinder radial engines, giving a maximum power of 780 CV on take off and 750 CV at 3,400 meters".
If 'kW' and 'hp' refer to engine power, what does 'CV' stand for/refer to?

2. In the 'Operators' section, it states: "Luftwaffe (captured)". Does this mean Italy was not allied to Germany in the first half of the war, or does it refer to the latter part of that conflict? Also, there are no quantities mentioned.
