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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472870704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.24w x 1.00d","brand":"Jeremy Walsh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52933663883445,"sku":"9781472870704","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mosquito-units-in-the-far-east-9781472870704","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
