Gloster Gladiator
Between a Gloster Gladiator, Fairley Swordfish, and a Fiat CR42 which one is the prettiest and classiest?
To my eye... it's the Fairley Swordfish by a wide margin.
The Fiat CR.42 is clunky and the spats on the wheels make me giggle.... the Gladiator looks too much like the Fiat.
THE old Stringbag though... long enough to give it a little "lean & mean", simple lines, and a RECORD that's hard to beat.
My personal WWII favorite for carrier-based bird is the old Avenger. I'd sell my soul for a PBY-5A.
My favorite post-WWII carrier based bird is the old S-2 Tracker (Stoof) which I have 500+ hours in now with CALFIRE
