EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Bristol S2 A two-seat fighter, an unusual design from the First World War era where the pilot and gunner sat side by side. The plane in this image is serial number 7836, which first took to the skies in May 1916. This aircraft, a biplane with an open cockpit, was later utilized for advanced training at the Central Flying School during the conflict. The image, taken circa 1916, provides a glimpse into the history of military aviation during the Great War. The image's grainy texture and the worn-out look of the plane's surface add to its historical significance. The S2 A was a vital asset in the British Royal Flying Corps' arsenal, and its side-by-side seating arrangement allowed for effective communication and coordination between the pilot and the gunner. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and innovation of the pilots and engineers who played a crucial role in the development of military aviation during the First World War.
