Saxton, PeterMOSQUITO SPECIAL OPERATIONS IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR: The Ultimate Fighter Bomber Looks at how the de Havilland Aircraft Co. Mosquito defied WWII norms with unmatched versatility and speed, serving crucial roles from bomber to fighter. It was introduced as an unarmed, un-interceptable, long range, high speed, high altitude medium bomber. An unarmed bomber without protective armament was a concept that ran directly contrary to the tactical doctrines of both the Royal Air Force and the US Army Air Force. Examines the crucial role of designers and engineers from drawing board to production and company support. The text details attacks from the aircrew point of view. Contains 17 mono illustrations. It was developed to carry out almost unlimited roles including ground-attack dive-bomber, anti-shipping strike aircraft, day and night fighter, Pathfinder marking targets for a main heavy bomber force, and long-range reconnaissance aircraft. Its most important role was as a deadly long-range, low level precision ground attack fighter-bomber, ideal for 'special duties' operations. 1 vol, 144 pgs 2024 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj, available mid September 2024 ......$37.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our WWII
