Historical description of the Vickers FB-19 Mk.I "Bullet":

The Vickers FB-19 "Bullet" was a single-seat fighter from the World War I era, constructed by the British company Vickers. The aircraft entered service in 1916. Although the plane was not particularly successful in British Air Forces, many units were exported, including to Russia. On the Eastern Front, they were mainly used for reconnaissance and to fight enemy aircraft, but due to limited combat effectiveness and complex operation, they were quickly replaced by newer designs.
