During the course of aviation history, there have been very few
aircraft that have achieved immediate success when entering
front-line service. The arrival of the de Havilland Mosquito
brought with it a degree of instant success that set it apart from
a host of other aircraft. It was not designed to an RAF
requirement, but was the result of an initiative of the designers
and builders to utilize the skills of woodworkers and the relative
abundance of wood in the crisis years of World War II. The result
was an aircraft that could be built quickly, was extremely fast and
immensely versatile. Pilots loved it and the opportunities opened
up to them as a result of the capabilities of this new and exciting
aircraft. Here, Graham Simons describes in detail how the de
Havilland Mosquito was built, utilizing many rare photographs from
the design studio and production lines. It illustrates and explains
the many different roles that the aircraft took as the war
progressed. Fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, night fighter - there
were few tasks that this brilliant design could not adopt.
