Description
The Mosquito Mayhem: A World War II Aviation Story The Mosquito was one of the most versatile combat aircraft of World War II, and this book tells its story through the eyes of the men who flew it. With hundreds of first-hand accounts from two-man crews, this book portrays the dramatic experiences of flying in various roles, including pathfinder, night fighter, reconnaissance, precision bombing, and low-level ground attack. The book describes the RAF's most audacious raids on prime but difficult targets, where carpet bombing by heavy bombers was likely to be ineffective and cause unnecessary casualties to civilians. This remarkable record of the aircraft and the men who flew it is a testament to the bravery and skill of those who served in the RAF during World War II. Through these accounts, the book brings to life the intense and often intense experiences of flying the Mosquito in the midst of war.
