Historical Background:
The stable flight characteristics of the government-designed Royal Aircraft Factory BE.2c made it an ideal home-defense night-fighter aircraft during World War I. It famously claimed the destruction of the first German airship over Britain on 3rd September 1916, earning pilot Lt. William Leefe Robinson a Victoria Cross for this historic achievement. The BE.2c served with distinction throughout the war, demonstrating the effectiveness of British aircraft design.
