[edit] Ro. 53 prototype

I reverted the edit that said it never flew because the article doesn't imply that it did or didn't, it says that it never entered production. The original editor needs to provide specific reference notes of the original Italian so they can be checked if questioned, that's a very good policy guideline, especially in this case. If you have a reference that states specifically it didn't fly, please post that. Awotter (talk) 20:40, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

The article originally [1] stated that the Ro.53 was unbuilt - although it , and the subsequent revision to refer to the Ro.53 "prototype" (which does suggest it was built) are not cited. None of the paper references that refer to the Ro.57 that I have refer to the Ro.53 at all. [2] (according to Babelfish) refers to the Ro.57 being based on the previously rejected Ro.53 project. It doesn't say whether the Ro.53 was built or not. It would probably be better to refer to the Ro.57 being based on the Ro.53 design, without going into whether it was built or not - at least until someone can check some more detailed references.
