BRISTOL BEAUFIGHTER
 

The Bristol Beaufighter was derived from the Beaufort and first
flew in July 1939. When it became fully operational in October
1940 the RAF had for the first time a truly capable heavy night
fighter, possessing real speed and real firepower.

Usually powered by various versions of the Bristol Hercules
engine, one version was built (the Mk II) using Rolls-Royce Merlins.
As the De Havilland Mosquito came on stream as a night fighter
Beaufighters were changed to coastal patrol and shipping
strikes.

The Beaufighter served with distinction in all theatres of the
war and continued in post-war service as a target tug, the last
example not being retired until 1960. Over 5,500 were produced
in total including licence manufacture in Australia.

This CD contains the flight manuals (called Pilot's Notes by the
RAF) for most models of the Bristol Beaufighter. The CD has been
