We Guard the Gate: Mosquito Night Fighters at West Malling May 1943-August 1944

By M.S. Morgan

Following on from the book 'Bad Hat Squadron', this volume covers the period May 1943 to August 1944 and the five Mosquito squadrons which operated from RAF West Malling in a night fighter role. Initially they under-took night defence duties before going onto the offensive over France and the D-Day beach heads; as well as dealing with V1 flying bombs. MS Morgan uses combat reports, aircraft loss reports, Operational Record Books and biographies to produce a chronological history and diary of the day to day events of these squadrons. The final section details many of the pilots and radar operators who served during that period. A detailed account of Britain's primary night fighter station in WW2.
