		Built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, the original model of the Bristol Fighter was the Bristol Type 12 F.2A which first flew on 9 September 1916.
		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.

		As production of the F2B increased in speed during the mid-Summer of 1917, additional Royal Flying Corps squadrons were formed or re-equipped with the new Bristol fighter.
		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.

		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 - The Aerodrome Forum
		In a period in history when the useful life of an aircraft was sometimes measured in months, the Bristol Fighter had a useful role to play from 1917 to its retirement in 1932; a decade and a half.
		Wilfred Beaver was, of course, a high scoring ace in the Bristol as well.
		So I think its fair to say that the Bristol made its share of aces, especially when you remember that many Bristol crews were routinely sent on recon, spotting or bombing missions and never had the chance to fly scout missions like the Camel and SE5 guys.

		A two-seater, the F2b has a single Vickers.303 machine gun in the front for the pilot, and a single Lewis machine gun of the same calibre for the observor in the rear.
		Of all the fighters in DoA, this might be the worst turning; although makes up for it by being quite fast.

		: 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’.
		When the F2B arrived at the front with its Rolls Royce Falcon III of 275 horsepower it was so successful that the Ministry for Defense soon followed up the initial order for 200 aircraft with many more orders.
		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.

		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.

		Suddenly the pilots appreciated the fact that the two-seat Bristol Fighter was as fast and very nearly as maneuverable as the single-seat Scouts which were much smaller.
		The new Bristol, instantly identified by its fuselage mid-way between the wings, was mentally written off as what a later generation of pilots would have called 'a piece of cake'.
		Indeed, the Bristol was soon held in such respect that, except for the very top crack' circuses, it became a general rule for German pilots never to attack a formation of more than three Bristols, no matter how great their own numerical advantage might be.
