The fourth volume in the classic series is dedicated to one of the fastest aircraft of the Second World War: the De Havilland Mosquito. This versatile, largely wooden all-rounder was equipped with two Merlin engines. The combination of powerful engines, light weight, and high maneuverability proved to be the ideal recipe for a multi-role aircraft.

This book presents the Mosquito and its various versions in detail. Bomber and reconnaissance versions, fighter-bombers, night fighters, and target tugs are shown from all perspectives. The differences between the versions and their roles are described and illustrated—from the engines to the cockpit. The latter differs considerably; even the control sticks of the bomber versions and the control stick of the later versions!
