Historical Original

The Bristol M.1C is a British fighter aircraft developed by the renowned Bristol Aeroplane Company. Its maiden flight took place in 1916. It was mainly operated by the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force in the service of Great Britain during World War I. Famous for its excellent performance for its era, it was one of the fastest British fighters, but due to prejudice against the monoplane design, its use on the Western Front was limited. The M.1C model was mainly used in less demanding theatres of operation such as the Middle East, Salonika, and Palestine, where its performance offered a significant advantage over the enemy.
