History and use of the Bristol Beaufort Mk.I: The Bristol Beaufort, also known as Type 152, is a British twin-engine torpedo bomber designed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company. Its design was based on the experiences gained from the earlier light bomber Blenheim. At least 1180 Beauforts were produced by Bristol and other British manufacturers.

These aircraft first entered service with the Royal Air Force Coastal Command and later with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm from 1940. They were used as torpedo bombers, conventional bombers, and for laying mines until 1942, when they were withdrawn from active service and used as training aircraft until they were deemed obsolete in 1945.

Beauforts played a significant role in operations in the Mediterranean Sea, where squadrons stationed in Egypt and Malta helped disrupt supplies for Rommel's Afrika Korps in North Africa. Although designed as torpedo bombers, they were more often used as medium daytime bombers. Many Beaufort units were later converted to Beaufighters, which proved to be very effective.

The Australian Department of Aircraft Production (DAP) also produced variants of the Beaufort, known as DAP Beaufort. Over 700 Australian Beauforts served in the Royal Australian Air Force in the Southwest Pacific theater, where they were used until the end of the war.
