Product Description
A collection of stories, many told by the men involved, of operations carried out by the Allied wartime aircraft, the Havilland Mosqito. The stories tell of daylight precision bombing runs, nightime combat with enemy bombers, interceptions of fast-moving V1 flying bombs, low level rocket attacks, pathfinder operations and reconnaissance sorties. The narrative conveys the courage and danger of the missions as well as the excitement of flying into combat in the "wooden wonder". The book is illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs from private collections, which cover operations in Europe, Scandinavia, the mediterranean, Asia Minor and South East Asia.
