The Beaufighter
I have just started reading 'Beaufighter Boys' by Graham Pitchfork, and I have learned something interesting.
The chapter one intro says:
"With its massive ROTARY engines thrusting forward of the cockpit, the Beaufighter's sturdy profile portrayed a sense of power and aggression".
I always thought that the Beaufighter was powered by Bristol Hercules RADIAL engines.
Is this a typo? Or have I learned something new?
