Gloster Gladiator Mk I – historical background

The Gloster Gladiator Mk I was the last biplane fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF), introduced into service in the mid-1930s. It was used by the United Kingdom and its allies such as Norway, Belgium, Finland, and China. The Gladiator participated in, among others, the Norwegian campaign, North Africa, and Malta, serving both as a fighter and reconnaissance aircraft. Although it was already obsolete during World War II, it played an important role in the initial phases of the conflict.
