“I cannot believe that any modeler wanting to build a Mosquito could do so without this book – it has details beyond galore, markings I'm not used to seeing on RAF aircraft (American-style nicknames, mission-marks, etc.), battle damage, weird offshoot uses everything – including a special section on the anti-sub version with a 57mm (aka 6-pounder) cannon … As for historians, no one can really understand the operation of this magnificent flying machine without wading deep into the operational specifics of individual aircraft, and this book does it in spades … Cap that off with the clear superiority of Crecy book manufacturing standards, and this is a remarkable, fantastic book … Bottom line: if you have any interest in the Mosquito, you NEED this book.”
Human stories of RAF aircrew, ground crew and Commonwealth Air Forces are detailed in addition to coverage of the Mosquito operated by the Russians and that captured by the Luftwaffe. A private venture aircraft, the much-loved Mosquito was possibly the most versatile of all British aircraft of World War II. Extended captions include performance tables, nose-art, advertising and a summary of preserved Mosquitoes. This volume is a comprehensive pictorial record of the Mosquito aircraft and the people who worked with and flew in her. It contributed to the war as a fighter; an unarmed bomber, a reconnaissance aircraft and its different variants included the Sea Mosquito, the first British twin-engined aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. Aircraft numbers, specifications, dates, personalities, and background information coupled with over 500 black and white photographs, many previously unpublished and a color section, make this and its best selling companion Mosquito An Illustrated History Volume 1 a must for researchers and historians alike.. Revolutionary in its wood construction, the de Havilland Mosquito played a vital role in the war combining the maneuverability of a fighter with the payload of a medium bomber. De Havilland Mosquito An Illustrated History Volume 2 traces the fascinating development of the Mosquito from its construction through to operational fighter and bomber in frontline, Grey Owl lived and worked among many people who survived by canoeing, transporting goods, trapping, hunting, fishing, and often living at great distance from other human beings - with whom they might have enjoyed talking and comparing stories. The last five chapters on Engineering Applications is an unequalled summary of the use and analysis of the practice of explosives engineering. It's an okay introduction, but quite shallow. But ultimately, you have to reason some of this out for yourself. But, if you have a car that has not been stripped of its emissions systems, I would suggest that you leave them on. A simple multitasking example ties everything together at the end of the book.Altogether, a solid effort, aimed at beginner to junior embedded staff. Very good information. He leans towards that "factory original" conservative-collector anal-retentive obsessive-compulsive restoration. It has all the info needed to get into the repeaters, if you can these days. While this may not sound like much of an accomplishment, many othe
