No.21, THE BRISTOL FIGHTER
BIFF!
Jack Bruce relates the absorbing history of genius designer Frank Barnwell's classic Bristol Fighter that entered service in 1917 until the Armistice and beyond with successive variants serving the RAF and Commonwealth up to 1936. As well as numerous photos and colour art on the inner covers there are detailed specifications, unit deployment with serial listings plus full tabular weights and performance figures.
ONE of the truly great aircraft of 'The Great War' that emerged from a disastrous debut in 1917 to become one of the most powerful and reliable two-seat fighters of the conflict: many RFC and RAF pilots and observers notched up substantial victories on the type. Written by Jack Bruce this Profile describes the WWI 'Biff' in some depth with over 30 archive images and two pages of colour profiles that illustrate eight individual aircraft serving on the Western Front and post-war service overseas. Our copy is in good condition with some cover creases and a rather fragile spine but it's complete.
