i would add the avia b534 to the listGloster Gladiator/Sea Gladiator's faced Fiat CR-42's over the Mediterranean, and both seemed to give as good as they got. But are there any reports of the Italian fighters engaging I-15/I-153's on the eastern front?
As far as I can tell,(am I missing any?) the best "on paper" bi-plane fighters to still remain in service at the start of the second world war would be;
- Gladiator/Sea Gladiator
- CR.42
- I-153
- F3F
Which would you choose?
And the Battle of Taranto that reportedly inspired the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbour.No ones mentioned the Fairy Swordfish which was responsible for sinking the Bismark if my memory serves me right.
yes, as Fiat-HamiltonLooks like a Hamilton Standard. Did they produce them under licence?
