The Austin-Ball A.F.B.1 (Austin Fighting Biplane) was a British fighter plane of the First World War, built by the Austin Motor Company with design input from Britain's leading fighter ace at the time, Albert Ball. Although trials with the prototype were on the whole excellent, and it could very probably have been developed into a useful operational type, the A.F.B.1 did not go into production, as both Austin's production capacity and its Hispano-Suiza engine were required for the S.E.5a.

  • L'Austin-Ball A.F.B.1 (Austin Fighting Biplane) fu un caccia biplano realizzato dall'azienda britannica Austin Motor Company, meglio nota per la sua produzione nel settore automobilistico, con il supporto dell'asso dell'aviazione britannica Albert Ball per essere utilizzato durante la prima guerra mondiale. Benché potenzialmente possedesse caratteristiche che lo rendevano superiore ai pari ruolo contemporanei ne venne prodotto un solo prototipo e non fu mai avviato alla produzione in serie. (it)
  • L'Austin-Ball A.F.B.1 est un chasseur biplan monoplace britannique de la Première Guerre mondiale. Cet appareil dessiné par C.H. Brooks, incorporait les préconisations de l’as britannique Albert Ball, dont la méthode d’attaque favorite consistait à attaquer son adversaire par-dessous. Il se présentait comme un classique biplan à structure en bois entoilée et ailes égales non décalées, le plan supérieur affleurant la partie supérieure du fuselage pour assurer une vision optimal vers le haut et sur les côtés. L’armement comprenait une mitrailleuse Lewis fixe tirant à travers le moyeu de l’hélice mais située en arrière du moteur, selon un brevet déposé en décembre 1915 par Austin Motors. Une seconde arme, mobile, était fixée à un support en arc de cercle situé au-dessus du plan supérieur. (fr)
