Before the Second World War broke out, the Elleniki Vassiliki Aeroporia (Royal Hellenic Air Force) flew a mix of aircraft. Among the fighters (mostly PZL P.24s) there was a small number of Gloster Gladiators (19 Mk.I and 6 Mk.II) and Avias B-534 (2). During the Italian invasion in 1940 and the German subsequent onslaught in 1941 these aircraft were used as much as possible. During this bitter conflict the Greek pilots claimed a number of biplane victories.
Following pilots were credited with biplane victories during this time:
|Name||Biplane victories||Total no. of victories||Note|
|Ioanis Kellas||2||3||Top Greek biplane fighter pilot.|
The Royal Hellenic Air Force claimed at least four more victories with the Gloster Gladiator, but no more names have been found.

If anyone could provide more information about Greek pilots, I would be very grateful.
