ONE of the UK's most prestigious aero historians was the late Francis K Mason whose body of work was extensive and highly acclaimed. He was the natural choice to write this excellent account of the incomparable Gloster Gladiator, the last RAF biplane fighter. Resplendent in pre-war aluminium with colourful squadron regalia, the 'Gladdie' also had a remarkable career in WWII where it proved surprisingly effective in most theatres. Frank's Profile contains the whole fascinating story with 27 photos and full colour profiles on inner covers featuring a dozen examples in the liveries of three nations. Our venerable copy is creased in places but nevertheless complete.
