Yup, some of the Gladiators after Soviet Union took over Baltic States in 1940 where used by the VVS, markings changed to Red Stars, then in 1941 after Germany invaded they were used by the Luftwaffe.

I can tell you what aircraft it looks like. It looks very like the superb fairey Gannet. Its a naval fighter aircraft of some sort. I think its a fairy expermantal prototype but without going digging in the books I have no idea. EDIT: except the US markings.... Kev
