Vickers Gunbus by Tim Fisher. Royal Flying Corps
British biplane of the First World War shown in aviation art print
attacking a German observation balloon over the Western Front.
Vickers Gunbus FB5 by Tim Fisher. This aircraft entered service with the RFC in February 1915. Nicknamed
the gunbus, it was the first British aircraft to be designed
as a fighting machine from the start. The plane was armed with a single
.303 inch Lewis machine gun, fired by the observer. It was only a short
period of time before it was outclassed by German aircraft carrying synchronised
forward firing machine guns.
