Book Type: S
By Philip Birtles. Unique among books about the Mosquito this volume seeks to show the squadrons that operated it rather than the 'nuts and bolts' view usually given. As well as the night-fighting squadrons attention is given to units using later marks as the war progressed for ground attack. Following in the footsteps of Beaufighter Squadrons and Lancaster Squadrons in the In Focus series, this visual history of the Mosquito squadrons makes spectacular use of over 250 high quality wartime images, many previously unpublished, to illustrate each squadron in turn. Extended captions, details of bases, marks of aircraft used and code letters complete a visually stunning tribute to the RAF's famous fighter. 96 pp.
