Product Description

Book Description

`On 15 November it came suddenly out of nowhere inches above the hangars with a crackling thunderclap of twin Merlins. As we watched, bewitched, it was flung about the sky in a beyond belief display for a bomber that could out perform any fighter. Well-bred whisper of a touch down, a door opened and down the ladder came suede shoes, yellow socks and the rest of Geoffrey de Havilland.'

The memories of Sergeant (later Flight Lieutenant DFC) Mike Carreck who was an observer with 105 Squadron when he first laid eyes on the new de Havilland Mosquito. This was an aircraft that would prove itself to be one of the most versatile and revered aircraft to fly with the RAF in World War II.

This book is full of first-hand accounts from the crews that flew the `Mossie' in its roles as a bomber, long-range reconnaissance and low-level strike aircraft. The author has gathered together many of the most exciting operational reports that cover the period from the type's introduction until the end of World War II. The text is interwoven with the background history of the personnel and squadrons, the purpose of the operations undertaken and their often devastating results.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting collection of memoirs, 9 Mar 2009

By	G. M. Brown (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Odd title as the book includes a chapter on the Burma theatre. However, Martin Bowman has written a prodigious number of books on the air war in World War 2 including several about the Mosquito already so finding a new title might be difficult. Several previous books have included a lot of lists of missions, which, whilst representing an impressive amount of research, can make for pretty tedious reading. This one is better with a liberal sprinkling of first hand recollections of Mosquito crew including the often neglected photo-reconnaissance missions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mossie swansong from Bowman, 2 May 2009

By	N. Page (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

.. at 320 densely-printed pages this is a handsome collection of accounts from Mosquito pilots & crew. However given that Bowman has written extensively on the Mosquito it is rather difficult to know which of these have appeared elsewhere. There are some new pieces, including some excellent first-person accounts although Bowman can hardly take the credit for these. A little expensive but the Amazon discount once again invites a purchase if you have any interest in the wooden wonder!
