Hi Peter,


Many thanks for your reply.

I have a special interest in the Gladiator and have been researching this aircraft for over 20 years. I was lucky enough to have had a book published about this aircraft in 2002 by Mushroom Model Publications.

Gladiator pilots made over 650 claims from 1938 until 1943. These are claims for shot down, probables and damaged.

I have decided to compile an accurate listing of all claims in chronological order starting with the first on 28 February 1938. At present I have 475 claims listed and I am in the process of comparing the claims to actual German, Italian and Japanese losses.

Sources for these claims and comparison of losses comes from various books, journals, articles, websites and discussion groups such as this.

Thanks again for your help.

Alex
