Description

The Mosquito developed into one of the most versatile aircraft of World War 2, entering service with Fighter Command in early 1942. The ‘Mossie’ was soon defending raids on Britain’s Cathedral cities and became an integral part of the country’s night defences. Its airborne radar gave it the ability to ‘see’ the enemy at night. Its speed and devastating fire power made it the finest nightfighter deployed by any side during World War 2.

Andrew Thomas is a long established author on RAF history. Since joining the RAF, he has maintained his enthusiastic interest in the history and development of his Service throughout his career. He lives in Linconshire, UK.
