The Fiat G.91 is a jet fighter aircraft designed by Giuseppe Gabrielli and built by Fiat Aviazione, later part of Aeritalia, to win the NATO NBMR-1 competition of 1953 for a lightweight strike fighter that could operate from austere airstrips. Its prototype flew on 9 August 1956 and it was chosen as the competition winner. It entered Italian Air Force service in 1961 and West German Luftwaffe service the next year, and was also flown by the Portuguese Air Force in Angola and Mozambique. A total of 756 were completed over 19 years, including prototypes and pre-production aircraft, with the line closing in 1977, and the last were withdrawn in 1995. The twin-engined G.91Y was developed from it.
