About the aircraft:

The Fiat CR.42 Falco was the last biplane fighter to see front-line service, used by Italy in the Mediterranean campaigns. The Sea Gladiator Mk.II, derived from the RAF Gladiator, became a legend in the defense of Malta, famously remembered as "Faith, Hope and Charity." Despite being obsolete by 1940, both aircraft played vital roles in the early Mediterranean battles.
