An illustrated history of the remarkable DH 98 Mosquito, from its unusual design and construction through to its pivotal actions the Far East. The RAF and RAAF''s de Havilland DH 98 Mosquito played an important role in forcing the Japanese retreat from Burma and the Far East. Combining innovative composite-wood construction, world-class performance and beautifully balanced handling, the ''Mossie'' excelled in intruder/strike and long-range photo-reconnaissance roles, despite its vulnerability to the hot, humid climate and challenging weather conditions. Moreover, Mosquito crews undertook their missions with great skill and determination, whether skimming the jungle to attack supply lines, supporting ground attack of artillery emplacements, denying airspace to the Japanese or identifying the enemy''s command centres. In this new study, Mosquito specialist Jeremy Walsh reviews the aircraft''s background, its operational history across both RAF and RAAF squadrons in the Far East and its contribution to Allied success in this often ''forgotten'' theatre. Accounts from aircrew bring first-hand perspectives to the story, while archive photographs and 21 newly commissioned aircraft profiles detail the aerodynamic efficiency and revolutionary nature of the Mosquito''s design.
