the C.CR-1.1f Gabbiano (Allied nickname: Gabby) is a dogfighting variant proposed to replace the Iosian F12J Night Witch which was rapidly showing itself being outdated, the idea was scapped for the F11J Dolphin.
The C.CR-1 Gabbiano (Seagull) was one of Ryclia's first jet powered aircraft and the first aircraft to be developed by the nation post second global war as a carrier based aircraft.
As a result of experiences from the Hon Kain Crisis shortly after the Second Global War and the the conceptulization of a cooperation with most of the Eoslian continent against the growing threat of Andosnia and its rise to a world superpower, the North-east Eoslia Treaty Organization (NEETO) issued specifications for a carrier based, light attack/ fighter aircraft to be issued on the new Iosian built aircraft carriers. The competition was intended to produce an aircraft that was light, small, expendable, equipped with basic weapons and avionics and capable of operating with minimal to no ground support. These specifications were developed for two reasons: the first was the nuclear threat to naval bases, many cheaper aircraft could be better dispersed, and the other was to counter the trend towards larger and more expensive aircraft.
