这 格洛斯特角斗士 was a British biplane fighter that served in various air forces during the late 1930s and early 1940s. It was the last biplane fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Fleet Air Arm (FAA), and was soon outclassed by more modern monoplane fighters. The Gladiator was developed from the Gloster Gauntlet, and had a single-strut wing design, a retractable landing gear, and a Bristol Mercury radial engine. It was armed with four machine guns, two in the fuselage and two under the lower wings. The Gladiator saw combat in many theatres of the Second World War, including France, Norway, Greece, Malta, the Middle East, China, Finland, and Iraq.
它还用作海军战斗机，被称为海上角斗士，并在航空母舰和陆地基地作战。角斗士因其机动性和稳定性而受到称赞，但速度低且射程有限。它逐渐被霍克飓风和超级马林喷火等新型战斗机所取代。角斗士在1944年以气象作用结束了其英国皇家空军的使用寿命。一架幸存的飞机目前在贝德福德郡的沙特尔沃思信托基金会保存飞行状态。
