In the period after the First World War, when the Royal Air Force was reducing its fleet, the Bristol F.2B Fighter was one of the most important British fighter aircraft for many years. After RAF pilots had suffered heavy losses during the war with the older F.2A, new, more successful mission procedures were developed for the F.2B. As a liaison and light attack aircraft, it remained in service with the armed forces until the 1930s. (Source: Aircraft of the World, IMP BV)
