Description
Authors

Founded in 1910, the Brisol Aeroplane Company was both one of the first and most important British aviation companies. One of its most famous creations, the Britsol Beaufighter, took its first flight on 17 July 1939, and shortly after became a highly effective night-fighter with the RAF during the Second World War. It also went on to have extensive service in Australia, New Zealand, Poland and the United States, to name a few. Beautifully illustrated, this book charts the design, development and service of this impressive multi-role aircraft.

Air Commodore Graham Pitchfork spent 36 years in the RAF, as a navigator. He was director of Air Warfare and, before retiring in 1995, was a director of Military Intelligence at the MoD. Now living in Gloucestershire, Graham is the author of several aviation books, including 'Buccaneer Boys' (Grub Street). In 2012, Graham received both the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators Award for Aviation Journalism and the Air Power Association Award of the CP Robertson Memorial Trophy for his services to aviation writing. He has written over 600 air force obituaries for the Daily Telegraph in the last 16 years.
