Mosquito Bomber/Fighter-Bomber Units of World War 2
ISBN: 9781855326903 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Truly an example of engineering ingenuity born out of the desperation of war, the legendary 'all-wooden' Mosquito was perhaps the best twin-engined fighter-bomber of its size to see action in World War II (1939-1945). The first bomber variant to enter service was the B Mk IV, initial examples of which were issued to No 2 Group's No 105 Sqn at Swanton Morley, in Norfolk, in November 1941.

One of the Naval Phantoms stole the record for the fastest Atlantic crossing, a record that stood until taken by the...

More Thunderbolts were built than any other American fighter in history. In December 1942, the P-47 was the only readily available American-produced high performance fighter. At...
