Gloster IV-A

source?

Three Gloster IVs were built for the 1927 Schneider Cup, using the 900 hp Napier Lion engine for power. I have conflicting identity of the aircraft registration N-222, it is one of the two shorter-winged planes, IV-A or IV-B. The race was won by the Supermarine S5 and one of these Glosters was later used as trainer for the 1931 race.
