Fairey IIIB

While the Fairey IIIA was designed for shipbourne use, the Fairey IIIB was a seaplane focused on bombing duties. The upper wing was extended and supported by king posts, tail surfaces were enlarged, and floats were fitted. Like the IIIA, the Fairey Patent Camber Gear was standard, allowing the ailerons to be used as flaps during takeoff for extra lift.

While twenty had been built and accepted by the Armistice, only seven were in service, with Squadrons No.219 and 220.
