De Havilland built the Wooden Wonder, with 43 variants across a run of 7,781 aircraft during WW2 and up to 1950. Versions included bomber, night fighter, trainer, day fighter, pathfinder, attack aircraft, reconnaissance – literally the Mosquito did it all.

Martin W. Bowman’s large and detailed creation covering the life and times of Mosquito in Europe alongside its aircrew in WW2 from the RAAF, RAF. RCAF and USAAF brings home the hardships, the challenges, the endless fear and wish to survive another day in the 480 pages. The aircrew were young, daunting and well trained at their flying and mission tasks. The stories in each chapter conveys the action as it happened from first hand detailed viewpoints.

In Martin’s book, the Mosquito is also explored and discussed with regards to its capabilities, weapons and design characteristics. Filled with many chapters of personal recollections, mission photos, squadrons operational history and air to air kills, the book is highly recommended and provides a great resource for any Mossie enthusiast.
