The Bristol F2b fighter
Any discussion of World War I air combat usually brings to mind the image of nimble single-seat fighters engaged in dogfights above the trenches, aircraft such as the S.E.5, Sopwith Camel, Nieuport and Spad. At the time however, one of the most formidable fighter planes of the period was a single-engine two-seater, the Bristol F2b, which was generally known as the Bristol Fighter or the “Brisfit”. The F.2B was regarded as a great success in its day. It was among the few aircraft to remain in production after hostilities ended and was on active military service long after WWI. The Royal Air Force did not retire the last of its F2b's until 1931, and many Bristol Fighters served in other air arms, including the U.S. Army Air Service.
