Historical and Technical Information

The Bristol F.2B Fighter was developed by the famed Bristol Aeroplane Company and entered service in 1917, right in the midst of World War I. The aircraft was primarily operated by the British armed forces (Royal Flying Corps, later Royal Air Force), as well as the armed forces of the British Commonwealth countries and several other nations. It was renowned for its versatility, serving both as an escort fighter and a reconnaissance aircraft. It fought on many fronts—from Western Europe to the Middle East and Africa. It distinguished itself by being easy to fly and highly effective in combat against opponents, as well as being resistant to battle damage.
