The British Gloster Gauntlet was a single-seat, biplane fighter of the RAF designed and built by Gloster Aircraft in the 1930s. It was the last RAF fighter to have an open cockpit and the penultimate biplane fighter in service. ==Design and development== The Gloster S.S.18 first flew in January 1929. The Gauntlet was a development of the Gloster S.S.19B design, which originally mounted six machine guns (i.e. four in the wings and two in the fuselage).〔("New Fighting Plane Carries Six Guns." ) ''Popular Science,'' June 1931, bottom of p. 52.〕 The original S.S.19 prototype being re-engined with a Bristol Mercury VIS engine, first flying in this form in 1933.〔Mason 1992〕 On testing the S.S.19, the Air Ministry placed an order for 24 aircraft in September 1933, to be named the "Gauntlet".〔 This initial order was followed up with orders for the revised Gauntlet Mk. II. This new model used a revised construction method based on that used by Hawker following Hawker's takeover of Gloster, as this was much easier to build and repair than Gloster's welded structure.〔 A total of 204 Mk IIs were produced in the UK.
