Beaufighter question
In the recent book by Osprey on Beaufighter Aces, it was mentioned that the IIF, with the Merlin engines, had a "significant" drop off in performance and handling compared with the Hercules-engined IF. What was the reason for this "drop-off" and why change to the Merlin? ...a shortage of Hurcules engines because the Halifax production had priority?
Thanks John
