If one aircraft epitomises the sheer daring of RAF aircrews during World War Two, it’s the de Havilland Mosquito. It was a mount that performed many roles – bomber, night-fighter, fighter-bomber – and undoubtedly it remains legendary due to the audacious ultra-low-level raids performed against targets such as Amiens prison in France, and seemingly almost skimming the waves during Coastal Command attacks on Axis shipping… often running the gauntlet of enemy flak. This seventh volume of Combat Machines is a fitting and timely vehicle to describe the de Havilland Mosquito, Accomplished aviation historians Tony Buttler and Malcolm V Lowe have provided a superb study of the Mosquito across the variants, encompassing its fascinating and groundbreaking design, operations and achievements.
