Could anyone out there post any pictures or have any stories of the Bristol Beaufighter in US service. If not could anyone suggest any good books on the subject. Thanks..

Thanks Dave. Have seen pics of the restored example on their site but not the ones in the gallery. Very nice and many thanks for the tip :D

Although not centered on the Beaufighter, "Conquering The Night" by Stephen McFarland is a 'must read' for anyone interested in USAAF night fighting during WWII.

You can download a PDF of the title HERE. None of the photos or illustrations are included in this file, but it's good reading.
