The Gloster Gladiator was the ultimate British biplane fighter, and the machine on which many early war aces would "cut their teeth" as tyro pilots. This book provides accounts of combats involving Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Belgian, Chinese and British pilots.
Never before has a single volume been devoted exclusively to the intrepid and disparate band of pilots who could claim to be Gladiator aces. Flying the ultimate British biplane fighter, pilots in China, Finland, East Africa, North Africa, Western Europe, the Mediterranean, Norway and the Middle East all scored the prerequisite five kills to become aces. The first individuals to do so were fighting marauding Japanese fighters and bombers attacking targets in China in 1938. The likes of Sheen, Tuck and Carey will also be featured in this volume, as they were among the many early war acers who cut their teeth in Fighter Command on the Gladiator.
