From early in 1917 until the end of the war the Royal Flying Corps had, in the form of the Bristol F.2B an agile fighter for use over France. The solid bi-plane construction soon proved to be a big success and the success rate increased in direct proportion to pilot experience. Fitted with the Rolls-Royce 275 Bhp Falcon III engine, the pilot had a forward firing 7.7 mm Vickers MG and the Observer a rotatable Lewis Gun of the same calibre. A total of around 5329 of these aircraft were built. The F.2B remained in service with many Air Forces until as late as 1930.
