Bristol Beaufighter
Scutts, Jerry
Crowood Aviation Series
First Edition
Developed from the unloved Bristol Beaufort, the Beaufighter was the RAF's first purpose-built night fighter. Powered by two Bristol Hercules radial engines, it had a reputation for being one of the most difficult to fly, yet most effective, aircraft in the RAF's armoury in the first years of World War Two. Used extensively in Europe, the Beaufighter also flew with distinction in the South-East Asian theatre, and with several foreign air forces. This well-illustrated book presents the technical and combat history of this popular warhorse.
