Bristol Beaufighter in Polish Service

307 (Polish) Squadron RAF operated the Bristol Beaufighter Mk IIf from 14 August 1941 to May 1942, replacing the unit’s Boulton Paul Defiants. The Mk.IIf fighters were replaced by Beaufighter Mk.VIf night fighters which operated until Feb 1943 when they were replaced by de Havilland Mosquitoes. In total, Beaufighter crews shot down fifteen bombers with three probables and six damaged; the last victory was the shooting down of a Dornier Do 217 on 24/25 September 1942.
