From Osprey Aircraft of the Aces #45:
"The best two-seat fighter of WW1 was the Bristol F.2B Fighter. I had originally been conceived for the recon role before being cast as a fighter. The types first missions were little short of disastrous as the pilots opted to fly it as a conventional two seater. Once experience had taught pilots to fly the Fighter as a single seat fighter with emphasis on manuevering for offensive use of the fixed forward gun and the trainable gun behind the pilot now seen as an offensive/defensive bonus, the a/c matured into an excellent fighter."
Lt Colonel Andrew McKeever (RAF) scored 31 victories with it in WW1 as the top scoring Bristol Fighter Ace.
Just some info I thought might be of interest to those unfamiliar with its history.
