This first of two volumes on de Havilland's "Wooden Wonder" covers
the night-fighter and fighter-bomber variants of the deadly
Mosquito. The development of the multirole Mosquito, from its
original bomber and photoreconnaissance operational function to
that of a night-fighter and fighter-bomber configuration, was
initiated by the latent threat of a renewal of the 1940-41 "Blitz."
Over the ensuing years of WWII, the Mosquito attacked the enemy
with sorties across a 24-hour time span, challenging the German
Nachtjagd with aerial interceptions, as well as attacks on
Luftwaffe airfields. Pinpoint assaults on specialist targets was
another aspect of Mosquito fighter-bomber operations, whose
destructive effect on the Axis was constantly felt. Also covered
are the Mosquito's operations with the Fleet Air Arm, as well as
postwar use. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
