Description
This first of two volumes on de Havilland's "Wooden Wonder" covers the night-fighter and fighter-bomber variants of the deadly "Mosquito". The development of the multirole "Mosquito", from its original bomber and photoreconnaissance operational function to that of a night-fighter and fighter-bomber configuration, was initiated by the latent threat of a renewal of the 1940-41 "Blitz." Over the ensuing years of WWII, the Mosquito attacked the enemy with sorties across a 24-hour time span, challenging the German Nachtjagd with aerial interceptions, as well as attacks on Luftwaffe airfields. Pinpoint assaults on specialist targets was another aspect of "Mosquito" fighter-bomber operations, whose destructive effect on the Axis was constantly felt. Also covered are the "Mosquito's" operations with the Fleet Air Arm, as well as postwar use. Part of the "Legends of Warfare. Aviation" series.
