  1. Country: Great Britain Side: Allied Years in the war: less than 2. Bristol f.2b Fighterby: matt w.

  2. Brief history : maneuverable, heavily armed two-seater biplane designed by Frank S. Barnwell. One of the most successful fighters of the war, it got off to a poor start during "Bloody April" when it was introduced. Fact 2 : It was the fastest fighter plane build in the year 1916. Little known fact : In the mistaken belief that the aircraft was structurally weak, pilots were instructed to avoid violent maneuvers during combat. Heeding this advice, the pilots of six B.F.2a fighters encountered Manfred von richthofen and his flight of five Albatros D.IIIs near Douai.
