The British B. E. – 2
This was a British single-engine tractor two-seat biplane designed and developed at the Royal Aircraft Factory. It was doomed since the start and should have just stayed in the factory. The pilots of the plane struggled to control the ridiculously clumsy creation. Its engine was also a hot mess. The gunner’s seat was positioned in front of the pilots obscuring his view and making it difficult to navigate safely. They proved to be easy targets and were shot out of the sky like ducks in open season.
