History/Military Bristol Fighter in Action
Posted on 2010-03-16

More Bristol Fighter in Action (Aircraft 137 ) By Peter G. Cooksley In 1916 it became clear that a replacement for the BE2 series of reconnaissance aircraft was urgently needed. As a result, two designs were produced, the RES by the Royal Aircraft Factory and the R.2A by Bristols. The latter design was unusual in that it had the wooden box-type fuselage mounted in between the upper and lower wings (known as a mid-gap mounting) to minimize the restricted view over the upper wing which was a problem faced by the pilot in a more conventional layout. A second, revised variant which was powered by a 150 hp Hispano-Suiza engine with unequal-span wings was designated the R.2B. This, in turn, gave way to a variant with the new Rolls-Royce Falcon I engine. This new aircraft was later redesignated as the F.2A. since the new design was now considered a fighter/reconnaissance type and an order for two prototypes (serials A3303-A3304) and fifty production variants (A3305 thru A3354) was placed by the War Office. The chief feature of this variant was a straight upper longeron coupled with two tall side-mounted "ear" radiators, and in this form the aircraft made its first flight on 9 September 1916. This was closely followed by the first flight of the second prototype, which was powered by a 150 hp Hispano-Suiza engine with a circular nose mounted radiator and was equipped with a tail skid built into the base of the rudder. Within a short time it was determined that the side mounted radiators obscured the pilot's forward view and A3303 was rebuilt with a nose mounted circular radiator and a deeper nose cowling.
