1. Title: A Line of Valiant Gloster Gladiators: Latvian Air Force's 1 Squadron, Riga, Latvia, 1938 Date: 1938 Location: Riga, Latvia Subject: A row of Gloster Gladiator fighter aircraft, belonging to the Latvian Air Force's 1 Squadron, parked at Riga-Babite Airfield in 1938. Description: This evocative image captures the essence of the 1930s military aviation scene, with a line of Gloster Gladiator biplanes standing proudly at Riga's Babite Airfield. The Gladiator, a piston-powered fighter, was a significant military aircraft of the era, and the Latvian Air Force was one of several European countries that operated this iconic biplane. The Gloster Gladiator, with the designation F.7/30 in the RAF and SS.37 in the Latvian Air Force, was a versatile and agile fighter that served in various roles, including as a fighter, trainer, and ground-attack aircraft. It was powered by a Rolls-Royce Goshawk engine, which delivered 1,030 horsepower, enabling the Gladiator to reach a top speed of 255 miles per hour. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the pristine condition of these aircraft, which were an essential part of the Latvian Air Force's defensive capabilities during the late 1930s. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and technological prowess of the aeronautical industry during this period, as well as the dedication and professionalism of the military personnel who operated these machines.
