This is the history of the best Allied fighter-destroyer of World War I & the pilots who flew it. Nicknamed Biff by the pilots the Bristol F2 Fighter enjoyed extraordinary over the Western Front in the final 18 months of the war. However it had an inauspicious debut. Indeed an entire flight of F2 As was wiped out by von Richthofens Jasta 11. However a new enhanced F2B was soon delivered to the front which was functioned in an entirely different manner. The crews operated the plane not as a standard two-seater but as a single-seat with a sting in the tail in the form of a rear gunner with a Lewis machine gun. Numerous ace teams earned the Biff grudging respect from its German opponents. This book will chart the development of the plane from its unpromising beginnings to the revised model operating with a new kind of tactics. Moreover the numerous first-hand accounts & combat reports will give a fascinating insight into the experiences of the pilots themselves.
