Bristol F.2 Fighter
The Bristol F.2 Fighter—affectionately known as the “Brisfit”—was Britain’s most successful two-seat fighter of the First World War. Designed by Frank Barnwell and first flown in 1916, the F.2 combined reconnaissance capability with fighter agility, powered by the Rolls-Royce Falcon V12 engine. Despite a disastrous combat debut, revised tactics revealed its true potential: flown aggressively, the F.2 could outmaneuver single-seat opponents while retaining rear defense from its observer’s Lewis gun.
This category features high-resolution prints of Bristol F.2 Fighters in flight, on takeoff, and in museum preservation—captured by aviation photographer Stuart H. Bourne. Included are F.2B variants from the Shuttleworth Collection and RAF No. 208 Squadron, each cataloged with verified serials, operational history, and archival context.
Whether you're drawn to the Brisfit’s rugged biplane design, its dual-role combat versatility, or its enduring legacy in aviation heritage collections, these prints offer a visually rich tribute to one of the most iconic aircraft of the Great War.
