Stipulations of the requirement included up to 500 lb of bombs, at least two guns with 150 lb of ammunition, and the ability to fly at least 110 mph at an altitude of 15,000 feet when fully loaded. A good means of communication between the crew was also mentioned, as well as for the aircraft to be capable of staying afloat for at least three hours in the event of a water landing. In late 1917, Airco decided to respond to A.2.b, with the work headed by the
