The Bristol Bulldog was a British single-seat biplane fighter designed in the 1920s by the Bristol Aeroplane Company and one of the best known aircraft of the Royal Air Force between the wars. Frank Barnwell developed it from a series of fighter studies, and Bristol built the Type 105 prototype as a private venture around a supercharged Bristol Jupiter VII radial engine. Its structure was all metal with a fabric covering, built from rolled high-tensile steel strip. The prototype first flew on 17 May 1927. More than 400 Bulldogs were produced for the RAF and overseas customers, and it left RAF Fighter Command in July 1937, replaced mainly by the Gloster Gauntlet.
