Mosquito: Britain's Wooden Wonder

The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was one of the outstanding aircraft of World War Two, making a significant contribution to the Allied victory. Of mainly wooden construction, the 'Mossie' was one of the fastest operational aircraft in the world, and while designed as an unarmed high speed bomber, the 'Wooden Wonder' was quickly adapted as a night fighter, a fighter-bomber, and photo-reconnaissance aircraft. The Mosquito played a pivotal role in the bomber campaign, proving able to carry a 4,000lb bomb to Berlin, while giving its crew a much better chance of surviving the experience It was also used for a succession of daring low level precision attacks against a range of targets, many of which are described in this 132-page special not seen for 10 years.
