My friend i have read some of the **** you have spouted before but this is going TOO FAR!  the Gloster Gladiator was NOT a **** plane - if you knew anything about it you wouldn't say that! Yes it was a biplane but if you READ something about it you will learn that it was an AMAZING plane and far far from **** - the others you mentioned weren't brilliant but the Gladiator shouldn't be in the same list as those planes at all!

Country:  | i'm sure that there's someone out there who's thinking exactily what you wrote to GermansRGeniuses about the Gladiator, so perhaps this should go in the paradox thread?

| You gotta put your brain in gear before your mouth German  ..i thought you came out of it ok ..considering if its allied you automatically think its **** 
The Gladiator was a superb plane doing what it was designed for but it was obsolete by the days standard..but it still was a bloody good thing in the hands of a good pilot and had excellent dogfighting characteristics (as did a lot of biplanes ) . | |

Reichsmarschall Batista | It takes a brave man to admit when he's wrong - respect earned! 10 brownie points!

| No Lanc i didnt know that ..i do know it is Douglas Baders aircraft though..so they must have either restored it or painted one up in his markings ...see the allies didnt even need legs to shoot down the Axis | |
