Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The cowling and 840hp Bristol Mercury VIIIA radial engine of Gloster Gladiator I at the RAF Museum, Cosford, Shropshire, 8 July 2020. Probably the finest fighter in the world when it entered service in February 1937, by the end of the year it had already been rendered obsolescent by the new breed of monoplane fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf109 and Hawker Hurricane which entered service later that year. Nonetheless, it fought in many theatres in the early years of WWII. The top Gladiator ace was South African Flt. Lt. Marmaduke 'Pat' Pattle who scored 15.5 victories out of his eventual total of 50+ on Gladiators against the Italians in the Greece and North Africa campaigns. |
