Author: Roy Sutherland About this book First entering service in 1941 the legendary 'all-wooden' Mosquito was one of the best twin-engined aircraft of its size to see action in World War II. The addition of radar turned the Mosquito into the RAF's premier night fighter, & it achieved great success in the defence of Britain, with some 600 raiders & 600 V1 rockets falling to its guns between 1942 & 1945. The design's superb performance, & ability to escape interception by enemy fighters also made the Mosquito the ideal choice for the RAF's photographic reconnaissance force. This wide range of roles across multiple theatres & air forces are all reflected in the variety of kits built & colour schemes shown throughout this book.
