Description
The de Havilland Mosquito: A Revolutionary Aircraft. During World War II, the arrival of the de Havilland Mosquito brought instant success to the RAF's front-line service. Unlike many other aircraft of its time, it was designed by its builders in response to a crisis, utilizing woodworkers' skills and abundant timber supplies. This innovative approach resulted in an extremely fast and versatile aircraft that quickly gained popularity among pilots. The Mosquito's capabilities were put to use in various roles as the war progressed, including fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, and night fighter duties. Graham Simons explores the aircraft's design, construction, and operational history through rare photographs from the design studio and production lines. This book provides a detailed account of the de Havilland Mosquito's development and its many uses during World War II.
