Vickers F.B.19

The Bristol F.B.19 was a single-seat fighter powered by the 100hp Gnome engine. It was of conventional construction, though the gap was quite wide and a transparent cut-out in the upper wing provided upward sight lines. In the Bristol F.B.19 Mark II the wings were staggered and the engine was either the Le Rhône or a 110hp Clerget. Six were sent to France in late 1916 for operational trials, but better planes were available. Twelve were sent to Macedonia and Palestine where they served with other types, and some served on Home Defense. In late 1916 some F.B.19s were sent to Russia.
