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..

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.
