The operational roles of “Day Ranger” and “Intruder” were to define the outstanding capabilities of both the deHavilland Mosquito fighter bomber and its courageous aircrews. Often as either a single Mosquito or in a pair, they flew at low level under enemy radar across the north sea to locate enemy airfields and other targets over occupied France, Holland as far afield as Poland and the Balkans. Destroying Luftwaffe fighters and bombers both on the ground and in the air.
