Someone - not sure which company - has, or will soon have a 1/48 scale kit on the market of this charming anachronism. So it can't be THAT obscure.

Google it, say I.

The book I have is WAR PLANES OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR........

Volume three: Fighters.
Covers all the Vickers type FB5, FB6 plus the FB9, FB11, and 12 plus 16 and 19 , 24, 25, and THE VAMPIRE which was the FB 26.

It is an old book published in 1969 by MacDonald&Co, and Jack Bruce was the author.
