Bristol F.2B Fighter and Reconnaissance Family

The Bristol F.2B Fighter was a two-seat biplane that became one of the First World War's most adaptable combat aircraft. After an unsuccessful debut under defensive two-seater tactics, crews used its speed and firepower aggressively for reconnaissance, escort, ground attack, and aerial combat; the type then remained in Royal Air Force service into the interwar period.
