The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was a British multi-role combat aircraft
with a two-man crew that served during and after the Second World War.
It was one of few operational front-line aircraft of the era constructed
almost entirely of wood and was nicknamed "The Wooden Wonder". The
Mosquito was also known affectionately as the "Mossie" to its crews.
Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber the Mosquito was adapted
to a wide range of bombing roles. It was also used by BOAC as a fast
transport to carry small high-value cargoes to, and from neutral
countries through enemy controlled airspace.
The book collates a variety of pamphlets and manuals on the plane that
were produced throughout the war for the benefit of pilots and others
associated with the aircraft.
