There have been many British fighter aircraft. Possibly 2 of the most famous were WW1's Sopwith Camel, a small biplane fighter, and ww2's Spitfire an aluminium framed and covered fast monoplane.

It's difficult to define that. At the start of WW1 all sides had aircraft that 'observed'. After a while they put guns on them, did that make them fighter aircraft. The German 'Eindekker', the French Nieuport 'Bebe' and the British Vickers FB5 were possibly the first aircraft built where observing was a secondary use.
