	Bristol F2B Fighter
		One of them, the Bristol Aeroplane Company, had a project for the construction of a two-seat general-purpose aircraft, which could be, used both ways: as a reconnaissance plane, and also in the tight maneuvers of air battles.
		To start with, the F2A was used as a regular two-seat fighter plane and this led to fatal consequences: during the first operational flight four planes out of six were lost.
		By the end of WWI the Bristol Company had received orders for 5,500 of these planes, 3,101 of which were transferred to combat units.

		Thus, the Bristol F2B Fighter, designed during the WWI, faced another major world conflict, but this was a time for aircraft belonging to a new generation.

		These were later changed to use the elevators of the F2A with the tail plane of the F2B and this arrangement was retained for all wartime F2Bs.
		The increased production rate at Bristol's for the F2B resulted in a shortage of engines since Rolls-Royce was unable to keep pace with the demand for Falcon engines As a result, alternative engines were examined and tested; including the Siddeley Puma, Hispano-Suiza 200 hp.
		The Bristol F2B Fighter, that we have modeled, is the aircraft that is kept in flying condition by the Shuttleworth Collection.

		The Bristol Fighter F2A and F2B, also known as the "Brisfit" by its pilots, first saw action during the Battle of Arras in early April, 1917.
		The ring mounted Lewis guns in the rear were initially used as the main weapon, not the front mounted Vickers machine gun.
		Once the British pilots caught on the Bristol Fighter became a potent weapon of aerial combat.

		No attempt was made to synchronize the Vickers guns to the Bristols despite the use of the Scarff-Dibovsky gear since the spring of 1916.
		The F2A, the initial order from Bristol, entered service in Sept 1916 and was used as a conventional two seater with disastrous results.
		Designed by Frank Barnwell, the Bristol M.1A was this designer's attempt to produce a fighting aircraft with high performance and optimum view for the pilot.

		An improved F2B version arrived soon after the F2A was introduced, and the improved F2B version of the Bristol Fighter is considered to be one the best two-seat fighters of WW1.
		After WW1, the Bristol Fighter continued to serve in the RAF in the army cooperation role in the Middle East and in India right up until as late as 1932.
		The Airfix kit is of a Bristol F2B Fighter flown by Major Andrew McKeever, who was the leading ace to use the F2B.

		Although the Bristol F2b established itself as the premier two-seat fighter of World War I by the time hostilities ended, its combat debut was an unmitigated disaster.
		Using traditional defensive tactics in a Bristol was like using a thoroughbred race horse to pull a cart.
		One by one, the Bristols were picked off by the sharpshooting aces of Germany's top fighter unit.

		Bristol F2b Two Seat Fighter manaf# FL1059 The Bristol F2B was a development of the F2A which had been designed to fill the need in 1916 for a reconnaissance aircraft that was capable of ‘looking after itself’.
		In what has been described as a typical Bristol F2B action, on the 30th of November 1917, McKeever, with his observer/gunnerPowell, met a pair of German two seat observation aircraft escorted by seven Albatros scouts.
		The Bristol Fighter, as it became known, was such a versatile design that it continued in service until long after the Great War was finished and it was not until 1932 that the RAF finally relinquished its greatest two seat fighter.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Bristol Beaufighter - Frans Bonné
		Bristol Beaufighter Mk IF The Bristol Beaufighter was the result of foresight of Bristol, and based on the Bristol Beaufort bomber.
		Although the Mk VI ITF was the perfect replacement for the Bristol Beaufort, crews still felt the engines were not optimally suited for the altitudes the plane was to fly at.
		Bristol then developed the Bristol Hercules XVII from a VI model, with the supercharger locked in medium state, and cropped impeller blades.

	Bristol Fighter. [Archive] - The Aerodrome Forum
		I believe the thinking was that the bristol was a better dogfight aircraft than the DH 4.
		I recall having read that the Bristol was described as a "fighter with a gunner" and that once crews had got over the old two-seater way of flying (the Lufbery circle when attacked), pilots could go after anything in front of them knowing that their back was covered by the guy in the back seat.
		I have followed through the responses to your question and I must agree the Bristol F2b was probably the best two-seater that came out of the Great War.

		The cowling ahead of the cockpit was different in cross section as a result, being tapered towards the top rather than round as on the F2A.
		AFAIK the Sunbeam engined varients went to the Corps squadrons as replacements for the RE8 and similar types.

		The Bristol Fighter was designed in 1916 as a replacement for the B.E. two-seaters.
		Having shown such versatility during the war it was one of the designs chosen by Hugh Trenchard to equip the peacetime Royal Air Force.
		Despite increasing age and poor flying conditions in many parts of the Empire, where it helped to establish the Royal Air Force's role as aerial policeman, the Bristol Fighter soldiered on until 1932.

		In March the following year the RAF transferred the Bristol to the Imperial War Museum and from 1923 to 1931 it was on loan to the Science Museum and displayed at South Kensington.
		Airfix released their 1/72 Bristol Fighter in 1958, the same year as the Sopwith Camel and the year after the RE8.
		The partially covered Bristol fighter at the RAF museum Hendon is assembled from the original parts of six aircraft combined with others made in the museum's own workshops.

		The Bristol F2b - a development on the F2a - came into service in April 1917 with Squadron 48 during the Battle of Arras.
		Designed as a reconnaissance aircraft capable of defending itself, the design was so successful that soon additional orders were placed to use it as a fighter - later becoming known as the "Brisfit Fighter".
		The Bristol Fighter was such a versatile design that it continued in service until long after the Great War and equipped the peacetime Royal Air Force until 1932.

		Schuld waren hauptsächlich falsche Taktiken, denn zu Beginn flogen die Bristol Fighters rein defensiv und verließen sich vollends auf Ihren Heckschützen.

	Warbird Alley: Brewster Buffalo / VL Humu
		Recognizing in 1936 that the day of the biplane flying off carrier decks was ending, the US Navy sent a proposal to manufacturers specifying a monoplane configuration, wing flaps, arrester gear, retractable landing flaps and an enclosed cockpit.
		Brewster’s design, the F2A, featured all-metal construction except for fabric control surfaces, a Wright Cyclone piston engine (allowing the plane to exceed 300 mph), four fixed machine guns and attachments for two 100 pound bombs.
		A Finnish variant of the F2A, the VL (Valtion Lentokonetehdas) Humu was intended as a replacement for the Finnish Air Force's worn-out F2A-1 Buffalo fighters, which could not be replaced due to poor wartime availability of imported combat aircraft.
