The Gloster Gladiator was a British biplane fighter used during the late 1930s and early World War II. It was the Royal Air Force's last biplane fighter and featured an enclosed cockpit, a radial engine, and four .303-inch machine guns. Despite being outdated by the war's start, it served with distinction in various theaters, including Norway, North Africa, and the defense of Malta. Renowned for its agility and ruggedness, the Gladiator bridged the gap between classic biplanes and modern monoplane fighters, earning respect from its pilots and foes alike. It remains a symbol of resilience in aviation history.
