Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum - SQUADRONS! No. 78

Dear All,

A new SQUADRONS! series book is now available dealing with the iconic Mosquito...

Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, the Mosquito’s use evolved during the war into many roles, including low to medium-altitude daytime tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike, and photo-reconnaissance aircraft. It was also used by the British Overseas Airways Corporation as a fast transport to carry small, high-value cargo to and from neutral countries through enemy controlled airspace. The crew of two, pilot and navigator, sat side by side. A single passenger could ride in the aircraft’s converted bomb bay when necessary. Very versatile, it became one of the major aircraft types of the RAF during WW2. This book develops the operational history of Mosquito Mk I, used a photo-reconnaissance aircraft and the Mk II, originally built as a night fighter.
