| I think the worst aircraft would be Italy's Fiat C.R. 42 Falco. It might not have been a bad plane before the war, but it was quickly outclassed by the superior monoplane fighters. Production was terminated in early 1942.

Country: | The Battle, the Roc or the Botha were worse, they were underpowered, slow and had no useful defensive armament

Country: | oh the roc was worse than the skua, although interestingly when the last rocs were grounded and it wasn't worth repairing them, their turrets were useed for AA defence, so they weren't as useless as the Battle............

Country: | The Skua was good!
The Botha has to be the worst, it was so bad it never made operational service

| Thanks.
But seriously, the Gladiator wasn't bad at all. Oh, and I take back what I said about the Skua.
