BRISTOL 156 BEAUFIGHTER

$9.95

Titles: Bristol Beaufighter No’s 1 to 4

The Bristol Beaufighter was a twin engined multi-role WW2 military aircraft developed from the Bristol Beaufort. It was initially used in the night fighter role where its large size allowed it to carry the heavy radar equipment of the day as well as armament without any performance decrease.

Over 5,900 were built including a variant manufactured in Australia. Its later roles included ground attack and torpedo bomber where ironically it replaced the Beaufort. The Beaufighter was one of the few WW2 types which remained in service after WW2 ended, being finally retired in 1960.

We offer four titles containing flight and maintenance manuals covering most variants of the Beaufighter aircraft including those manufactured in Australia, along with the Aircraft Profile. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
