It was given more powerful engines and a variety of modifications making the aircraft capable of many tasks. It was a night fighter, fighter bomber and torpedo bomber performing anti-shipping duty as well as ground attack and long range interdiction. The different variants, 14 in all, were capable of carrying bombs, torpedoes, rockets, canons and machine guns. The Beaufighter was operated by 11 countries. The Aircraft When WW II started Guy Gibson was a bomber pilot but volunteered for Fighter Command and flew a Bristol Beaufighter with 29 Squadron. In the Beaufighter Gibson shot down four aircraft in 99 sorties. On April 8, 1941 his Beaufighter was shot down and crashed while attempting to land. The crew survived but the aircraft was a write off. Gibson was promoted to Wing Commander with 106 Squadron and then the 617 Squadron where he led the Dam Buster Raid.
