The Bristol Badger was designed to meet a British need for a two seat fighter reconnaissance aeroplane at the end of the First World War. It was a single bay biplane with strongly staggered, unequal span wings, built around the ABC Dragonfly radial engine, with the pilot and an observer with a ring mounted Lewis gun sitting in tandem. Three Badgers were delivered to the Air Board to develop air cooled radial engines, in particular the one that became the Bristol Jupiter, and two others were also built. The first flew on 4 February 1919. A lateral stability problem, caused by adverse yaw from aileron drag, limited its prospects as a fighter.
