Description
Part 2 of the collection, continuing with the mammoth task of covering all types of Mosquitos in the WPA series, Ian Thirsk now turns his attentions to the fighters. Again, we had far too much material to fit into
one volume, so this one follows the lead of the bombers by covering the single-stage Merlin variants in this first part.
Ian was of course Head of Collections and Research at the RAFM and has also been a volunteer member of the DH Museum’s Mosquito restoration team for over forty years, so is the perfect author for such a task.
This volume covers the F. Mk. II through to the NF. Mk. XIX. A huge amount of extra ‘kit’ was installed during this development and we’ve tried to cover it all 72 pages.
To this end, the author has made great use of letters and numbers to identify various interior and exterior details which are so vital for the experienced modellers.
This book contains approx 120 original wartime/post-war photos and 6 in-depth colour profiles.
