After that Italy was divided in two states, the Axis Italian Social Republic in the north and the Allied Kingdom of Italy in the south. Both countries had their own Air Force fitted with formerly used Italian aircraft and other nations' planes. Meanwhile, the Italian National Republican Air Force continued fighting against the Allies till the last months of 1945, and the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force begun operation against the Nazi forces in the Balkans.
