The de Havilland DH 98 Mosquito was one of the fastest and most
versatile aircraft of the Second World War. One of the first
multi-role aircraft, it was used for reconnaissance and also as a
fighter, fighter-bomber, night fighter and interceptor. This book,
written by David Ogilvy, one of the last surviving pilots to have
flown Mosquitos in squadron service and later in a civilian
capacity, spread intermittently over fifteen years, provides an
expert inside story of the secret development of the aircraft, the
astonishing impact it made when first flown, its operational
achievements, handling qualities and the many design developments
that took it from quicksilver photographic reconnaissance aircraft
to long-range bomber and pathfinder. As preparations are made to
bring a working Mosquito back to Britain from New Zealand, this
book is a worthy testament to one of the most remarkable British
military aircraft.
