Bristol F2.b Fighter

Bristol F2.b FighterThe Bristol F.2 Fighter "Brisfit", is a two-seat Rolls-Royce Falcon powered biplane fighter and scout aircraft of the First World War. Although being a two-seater, the F.2B proved to be an agile aircraft that was able to hold its own against opposing single-seat fighters. The F.2B's solid design ensured that it remained in military service into the 1930s and surplus aircraft were popular in civil aviation.

The Bristol fighter's basic design stemmed from design studies by Frank Barnwell or an aircraft in the same class as the R.E.8 and the F.K.8. The eventual design became reality with the availability of the 190 hp (142 kW) Rolls-Royce Falcon I inline engine, around which the aircraft was modelled.
