I am looking for Bristol Fighter info reguarding the differences between the F2A and F2B (engine/bottom wing cell covering?...).
In particular I need info on the 48 sqn F2A's run in with Jasta 11 in April '17.


Also how often were the alternate Hisso/Sunbeam engines utilized on F2B production machines and how did they fair?

The 1/72 scale modeler,
SHAG

Shag, one of the most noticable differences was the downward slope of the upper longeron just ahead of the cockpit on the F2B. The cowling ahead of the cockpit was different in cross section as a result, being tapered towards the top rather than round as on the F2A.

AFAIK the Sunbeam engined varients went to the Corps squadrons as replacements for the RE8 and similar types.
