in the early days of BoB two glosyer gladiators did shoot down 2 BF109E. the 109E bounced them at 2000ft . due to the low speed and agility of the gladiators the 109's didn't get a chance to get a shot in . as the over shot the gladiators nosed up and strafed the under side of the 109's.
same technique was used by laysander pilots in North africa
-
cool, was that really used in WWII or were you just messin around, if it was then +<><>
-
this is just off my memory but i think it took part in the defense of Malta early in the war.
-
Yes, they were in the very early war, and I *think* the Boeing P-19 was the last of the bi/war planes
-
The Italians also used the FIAT CR.32 and CR.42 biplanes in the Battle of France, Battle of Britain, and in the North African theater. I want one really bad :D . I'd like the Gladiator as well.
-
The Gladiator fought in Norway ,Finland, England ,Malta and north Africa.
In Norway it flew from a frozen lake and did put up a good account for it self against the
109s it was fighting.
In malta They took on the Italian air force and in africa too.
Id love to see some biplanes in the game,you got russian and italian ones too that
could be added.

YES!
Especially since my squad defended Malta for the better half of the war. :cool:

It did have 4 .303's; one under each wing and two in the cowl.

I believe only 6 of them made it off the carrier transport and onto solid ground* in Norway. They harrassed German bombers and fighters but were basically bombed into rubble repeatedly until none of the planes were servicable. At the end they were flying only 2 planes and left those due to lack of parts, oil, fuel, etc.
*= solid ground in this case was actually a frozen lake, which was used as the airfield for these craft.
Not too many saw action in the BoB, and I would be surprised if many saw any action against the LW in Afrika. I assume they were used in reduced capacity at this time, perhaps recon, ground attack, other roles?
It was being phased out by the Hurricane Mk.I before the war officially began. It was only used in combat because they couldn't make hurricanes fast enough to convert all the squadrons.

It would still be REALLY REALLY fun... Hahaha I can just imagine a Bi-Plane mission... Oh how deadly the ack would be... :lol

Whether you should "believe" biplanes were widely used or not in WW2 can be surely resolved even with a modicum of effort. Start here:

and then go to a library.

We need them.

they were used through WWII as trainers in ACM before the pilots moved on to spits or hurricanes . I lived 3 miles away from stormy down aerodrome in S. Wales where there were hawker fury's flying until 1944 . laysander were used until 1950's as spotters for the RAF
