Anyone have any books or websites on the Beaufighter's service in the CBI?

The forgotten war seems more and more forgotten and every time I look something up about the CBI, there's always something new that I've never even heard of.

I have two histories done on CBI Beaufighter RAF Squadrons.  Both good books on a forgotten airwar

"Silently into the Midst of Things 177 Squadron Royal Air Force in Burma, 1943-1945"   Atholl Sutherland Brown

"BEAUFIGHTERS OVER BURMA: NO. 27 SQUADRON, RAF, 1942-45".   David J. Innes,

I'm thinking it's too early to give up all hope.  Gotta believe there is more in the pipeline then we're seeing in the Beta.

I hope the Beaufighter is still alive. I don't think we've missed anything that HTC needs to model the Beau.

Again....modeling is at thieir discretion.  Hope it comes sooner then later  :aok

Would rather have the B-29, A26, Spit21...

I hope this thing can turn like a zero, because it's other stats just plain suck. Looks great though.

(Image removed from quote.)

Considering it was in combat from 40-45 without stop, I think it would be more important then the 3 you mentioned and I love Spit 21s and got to know some folks who flew them with 91 Squadron before the war was done. I'd want the Spit XII long before the 21 as well

Had 1 .303 dorsal gunner position.

FTJR sent me a link of this very plane it still survives. The very first picture has the same tail art work & I believe it was the Co's aircraft so cool.
