EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Royal Aircraft Factory FE 2b, serial number 5201, a pivotal aircraft in the history of aviation during the First World War. Produced by the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough, England, nearly 2,000 FE 2bs were built from spring 1915, making it one of the most produced British military aircraft of the war. The FE 2b was a versatile aircraft, serving as a fighter, night bomber, and reconnaissance plane. In this image, we see the FE 2b in its raw form, with its skeleton framework exposed, as it was being assembled by the Boulton Paul Aircraft Company, one of the subcontractors that built 50 of these aircraft. The FE 2b's biplane configuration, with two sets of wings stacked on top of each other, was a common design during the early years of aviation. The FE 2b's open cockpit, exposed engine, and wooden framework are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the engineers and pilots of the time. The FE 2b's historical significance lies in its versatility and adaptability to various roles during the war. Its service record is a testament to its enduring value, despite the challenges of wartime production and the ever-evolving nature of aerial warfare. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the skies were a new and exciting frontier, and the FE 2b was a vital tool in the pursuit of victory.
