5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on the Mosquito
This is an excellent book on the Mossie, not hard to believe as it comes from Martin Bowman, one of the best aircraft writers at present. I have several books on the Mosquito, and I rate this right up at the top.

3.0 out of 5 stars Operations but not Design
This book has great detail about the operational use of the Mosquito. However it has very little design info. For example, there is a list of every claimed kill by a Mosquito, but no figure showing empty weight. There is much discussion about the use of Mosquitos for bomber pathfinder missions, but no comments on problems the prototype might have had.

3.0 out of 5 stars Chapter Seven review, September 6, 2008

Aviation researchers are forwarned to check official USAAF documents and records before quoting any information from Chapter Seven on the USAAF Mosquito operations. I highly recommend all bona fide aviation researchers glue together pages from this chapter to prevent dissemination of material contained within its pages, otherwise, history will be changed forever.

(REAL NAME)   
Aviation researchers are urgently advised to first check official USAAF documents to verify if information contained in the chapter on USAAF Mosqutio operations is correct before quoting information from this section. I recommend all bona fide aviation researchers glue together pages from this chapter to prevent dissemination of material contained within its pages, otherwise, history will be changed forever.
