Bristol F2.b Fighter
I am increasingly intrigued by this formidable WWI two-seat fighter that could take on the best German fighters on equal terms once proper tactics were applied. Does anyone know roughly losses of this fighter in combat during the Great War? The information I have does not include this data. I also welcome any interesting and unusual information and data about this warplane.
Thanks, Kenneth |

Perhaps it will interest you to know that Air Britain will publish a monograph about the type this year. It will follow the usual style including a detailed description of each individual, as far as is possible of course. Cheers Stig |

If Air Britain is interested, I can contribute with some info on the few Bristol Fighters in Hungarian service.
