The Bristol Aeroplane Company, founded in 1910 as the British and Colonial Aeroplane Company, played a pivotal role in aviation history as one of the first major aircraft manufacturers. During both World Wars, Bristol developed many iconic warplanes and engines that were critical to the war effort, including the legendary Bristol Beaufighter used in World War II.
