The Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2e was a British built, single-engine, biplane first used by the Royal Flying Corps RFC from 1912 till 1919. Originally intended as a front line fighter for air to air combat, their inherently stable characteristics and poor performance made them easy prey for the German Fokker Eindecker. Despite this it was used for other roles including as a light bomber, night fighter, anti-submarine and coastal patrol reconnaissance platform, and trainer.
