The
Bristol F.2 Fighter was a British two-seat
biplane fighter and
reconnaissance aircraft of the
First World War 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.
