The exploits of the Mosquito crews in Burma, skimming at low-level and at speed along rivers and over treetops to their targets, are the stuff of legend. Surprisingly, however, only five RAF squadrons ever flew these operations. Mosquito Intruders \u2013 Target Burma explores the achievements of these intruder squadrons, as well as the costs to the men who flew and supported them.<\/p>\n
The first operations were flown by 27 Squadron, led by the renowned Wing Commander James Nicolson VC, the only person in RAF Fighter Command to be awarded the Victoria Cross during the Second World War. Many of the airmen, like the author\u2019s father who flew Mossie intruder ops with both 27 and 45 Squadrons, felt that they were \u2018forgotten\u2019 by the public back home and often by their own high command. But importantly, they knew that their actions were shortening the war in the Far East.<\/p>\n
