The first volume in the two volume set traces the history of the Mosquito from its first flight in November 1940 through to its production and many variants. The aircraft's varied post-war uses are outlined in roles ranging from oil prospecting and air racing to aerial survey. Told in pictures with extended captions and two colour sections, this reprinted volume 1 combines with the new volume 2 to present over 1,000 photographs, making them essential reading for any Mosquito enthusiast.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Photos galore,
By Dave (North central Arkansas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: De Havilland Mosquito (Illustrated History (Crecy)) (Paperback)
There are photos on almost every page, but they aren't as varied as I had hoped. Photos are sized well, but many of them lack contrast. Text is mostly limited to captions of the photos. I wanted to learn a lot more about this extraordinary wooden plane, but this book wasn't too helpful in that respect. I had expected to give it five stars, but I have to give it four now that I've received it. (And maybe that's being too generous.)
