Martin Bowman's Mosquito books
 
Martin Bowman has several Mosquito books centering on personal accounts:
-Mosquito Mayhem
-The Men Who Flew the Mosquito
-Mosquito: Menacing the Reich
-Achtung! Moskito!

Which of these is most composed of personal accounts? How much these have overlapping content?

Re: Martin Bowman's Mosquito books
 
The Men who Flow the Mosquito is full of personal accounts.
I tend to find his Mosquito books a little expensive,so I haven't bought any others.
Not sure about overlapping content. I can send you a PM about the personal stories in "The Men Who Flew The Mosquito", if so desired.

This one (one of Bowyer's first on the Mossie?) is quite a lengthy history of the type and its development. It does contain (from my memory) an appendix of victory claims, squadrons who flew it etc. but I don't remember it having personal accounts.

Nick, that one is very good, though the hardcover versions seems to command highish prices. So far, despite numerous books on the Mosquito, none of them have really in-depth info on the structural aspects (e.g. accurate dimensioned construction drawings) or production aspects of it. Apart from that, my interest is mainly personal accounts with victory and squadron listings of little interest (applies to all aircraft).

This book may offer the construction info you seek Jukka. Good detail on how it was built.

And my personal preference for first-hand accounts of the Mosquito in action is "Mosquito Thunder: No.105 Squadron RAF at War, 1942-45". Fantastic detail on Ops and crews.
