	3D c4d Bristol F2b Fighter
		The Bristol F2b Fighter was one of the truly great British fighters of the Great War and yet it had one of the most disastrous debuts of any WW1 fighter aircraft.
		The definitive Bristol F2b powered by the Rolls Royce Falcon of 275 HP entered service during June 1917 and was to excel as a superb general purpose fighter.
		By mid 1918 fifteen squadron were equipped with the Bristol F2b performing a multitude of tasks and was universally popular with its crew.

	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.
		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 F2b Fighter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The most successful British two-seater of the war was the Bristol Fighter, when flown like a fighter it was the equal of any single-seater - with the added benefit of a gun to protect the pilot's back.
		If the Bristol Fighter was the most succesful two-seater, then its leading exponent would have to be the Canadian Andrew McKeever.

	Aeroclub & Blue Max Bristol F2b
		While most of its contemporaries soon ended on the scrap heap, the Bristol Aircraft Company's F.2B continued in production after the war, and was the mainstay aircraft of the newly-formed RAF for the next 14 years, as it maintained order on the far-flung edges of the British Empire.
		Once a faulty altimeter was replaced, it was discovered the airplane could climb to 10,000 ft. in 15 minutes, which was startling performance for its day; further testing revealed the airplane was as maneuverable as a single-seat fighter (though not in the Sopwith class).
		The success of the Bristol Fighter was such that the Canadian, Lt. Andrew McKeever, and his gunner, Sgt Powell, of No.11 Squadron were able to bring their score to 31 by November 1917; with McKeever becoming the top-scoring two-seater pilot of the war in the process.

		A two-seater, the F2b had a single Vickers.303 synchronized machine gun in the front and a single Lewis.303 machine gun that swiveled for the observer in the rear.
		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.

		The pilot's field of vision was only limited by the wing section thickness and the overall view forward, upward and downward was exceptional.
		The F2B fighter/reconnaissance aircraft with 275 hp Rolls-Royce Falcon engine was a tremendous success.
		It is easy to ascertain that the Bristol F2B was successful by the fact that over 4,700 were built and that production extended long after the war came to an end.

		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.

		The Bristol Fighter has some rather unique rigging features so if the modeler chooses to rig the model a good diagram and/or photos are a must.

		The Bristol F2b was simply named "Fighter" by the manufacturer and was also called the Brisfit by its pilots.
		A nit-pick, if I may - the nickname "Brisfit" was apparently only used post-war, an abbreviation of "Bristol Misfit" coined by pilots who weren't altogether happy flying out-dated machines.
		During the war, the F2B was commonly called the "Biff."

		As the F2b pilots became more experienced on the type, it was found to be a highly maneuverable and successful fighter.
