About this product
Product Information
Truly an example of engineering ingenuity born out of the desperation of war, the legendary 'all-wooden' Mosquito was perhaps the best twin-engined fighter-bomber of its size to see action in World War 2. The first bomber variant to enter service was the B Mk IV, initial examples of which were issued to No 2 Group's No 105 Sqn at Swanton Morley, in Norfolk, in November 1941. Considerably faster than the unit's previous Blenheim Mk IVs, powered by inline rather than radial engines, and made of wood instead of metal alloy, the Mosquito initially proved a challenging mount for both air- and groundcrew alike.Product Identifiers

A Concise hisory of the De Havilland Mosquito, Bomber Versions..
Aviation history of WW2 is a fascinating subject. I only read non-fiction, also had a late friend whose dad flew Mosquitos with 105 Squadron.My wife's Grandad also was one of those 'who also served' in using his skills as a Cabinet Maker, he manufactured many of the wooden parts used in the Mosquito. Hence I always enjoy factual accounts regarding the Mosquito, like to see contemporary photos of it, as well as enjoying the authentic art work of specific aeroplanes.. As a a concept It was a brilliant idea,not a standard bomber bristling with gunners, but just two crew, consequently its performance was a surprise to friend and foe alike. This book will join my Mosquito library.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
