WWI, Bristol Fighters Depart, 1918

The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a British two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft of WWI flown by the Royal Flying Corps. It is often simply called the Bristol Fighter or popularly the "Brisfit" or "Biff". Despite being a two-seater, the F.2B proved to be an agile aircraft that was able to hold its own against opposing single-seat fighters. Having overcome a disastrous start to its career, the F.2B's solid design ensured that it remained in military service into the 1930s, and surplus aircraft were popular in civil aviation. Captioned: " Bristol fighters depart for German lines, June 1918.".
