Bristol F.2A

Fifty Bristol F.2A fighters were produced before production was switched over to the improved F.2B. While it had a disastrous debut, it wasn't long before crews figured that the "BrisFit" could be flown as a conventional fighter rather than a slow, stable two-seater, and the plane's good qualities were made apparent. The F.2A differed from the F.2B by the use of the 190hp Rolls-Royce Falcon I, an uncovered section in the lower center wing, the lack of radiator shutters, a tailplane of shorter span and somewhat wider chord, and more upright center longerons.
