Opis

The two-engined Mosquito was one of the classic aircraft of the Second World War. Famously wooden-built, its graceful lines and powerful performance have made it into an airborne icon. Its operational versatility as a fighter, low level bomber and reconnaissance aircraft was unsurpassed.In this book we get the first-hand crew accounts of a selection of the actions and missions that the 'Mossie' undertook. These include audacious raids on Nazi HQs and Gestapo jails - real precision attacks carried out by ace fliers.REVIEWS brings to life the courage and will that RAF pilots- certainly all pilots during WWII displayed during every mission a must have, for this may very well be one of the last books to have first hand stories from the actual men who flew this magnificent plane.
