If one aircraft epitomises the sheer daring of RAF aircrews during World War Two, it's the de Havilland Mosquito. It was a mount that performed many roles bomber, night-fighter, fighter-bomber and, undoubtedly, it remains legendary due to the audacious ultra-low-level raids performed against targets such as Amiens prison in France, and seemingly almost skimming the waves during Coastal Command attacks on Axis shipping, often running the gauntlet of enemy flak. Let's not forget the stellar reconnaissance work also conducted by Mosquitos throughout the war, but rubber-stamping its versatility and longevity, the Mossie' continued to provide sterling service after the conflict, at home and abroad. This highly illustrated book gives readers an insight into this remarkable aircraft.
