Researched many years ago by the author for a project which did not come
to fruition, Beaufighter air and ground crew gave freely of their
stories which ranged from complete memoirs to brief anecdotes. And there
were a plethora of original photographs for him to choose from. Graham
Pitchfork has built on these reminiscences to trace the roles of
Beaufighter squadrons spread across all the theaters of World War Two
operations. From home bases, through north-west Europe, North Africa,
Malta, and the Mediterranean to the far Far East and south-west Pacific,
the Beaufighter served far and wide as did the crews of the RAF, RAAF,
SAAF, and New Zealand and Canadian squadrons. All are covered in this
quite unique book to be savored by all those interested in the war in
the air from 1939-1945.
