About the game

The Bristol Beaufighter was a British long-range heavy fighter derivative of the Bristol’s earlier Beaufort torpedo bomber design. The Beaufighter had a long career and served in almost all theatres of war in the Second World War, first as a night fighter, then as a fighter bomber and eventually replacing the Beaufort as a torpedo bomber. Great Aces that gloriously piloted this aircraft were Archibald McNeill Boyd, Michael James Herrick and Paul Yettvart Davoud. Designed to be used with the popular air combat game system created by Andrea Angiolino and Pier Giorgio Paglia, each WW2 Wings of Glory® Airplane Pack is a ready-to-play model, painted and assembled, 100% compatible with any other WW2 Wings of Glory game product. In each pack you will find all you need to play with the airplane: a special base with gaming stats, a variable altitude flying stand, and a specific deck of maneuver cards. Comes in a Boyd version, a Herrick version, and a Davoud version.
