The Gloster "Gambet" airplane : a deck-landing ship's fighter fitted with a 420 HP. Bristol Jupiter VI engine
This NACA Aircraft Circular from 1927, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, documents the Gloster Gambet, a British deck-landing fighter fitted with a 420 hp Bristol Jupiter VI engine, for an engineering and aviation technical audience. The pictures show two photographs of the biplane in three-quarter views on grass, followed by a page of line drawings with top, front, and side elevations and a plan view. A designer could take the crisp, labelled technical drawings as a model for clean orthographic diagrams of vintage aircraft.
