Built of lightweight wood, powered by two growling Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, impossibly aerodynamic, headspinningly fast and armed to the teeth, the de Havilland Mosquito was the war-winning wonder that should never have existed: the aircraft the RAF didn’t think it wanted then couldn’t do without.
Flying on operations barely eighteen months after a single prototype was ordered off the drawing board, it was the answer to its pilots’ prayers: a stunningly versatile warplane capable of leaving the Luftwaffe in its wake to attack when and where the enemy was least expecting it.
Excelling as a spyplane, night-fighter and pathfinder for Bomber Command’s heavies the Mossie’s reputation was cemented by a series of daredevil bombing raids across occupied Europe, including on Berlin itself, where only surprise, speed and precision could ensure success.
So when Churchill’s top secret Special Operations Executive needed to destroy the Gestapo HQ in the centre of downtown Copenhagen to prevent a devastating Nazi last stand that might prolong the war for many months, there was only one machine for the job - the Mosquito.
This is the story of that legendary aircraft told through that one impossible mission.
Like Rowland White’s previous books, Mosquito is an unputdownable mix of utterly compelling storytelling, incredible human stories and fascinating technological detail, which sheds never-before-told light on a pivotal mission that helped bring the war to its bloody and brutal close.

Every so often people rediscover the Mosquito, and notice that sometimes a solution looking for a problem turns out to be a gamechanger.
There are lifelessons to be found in studying warfare, as there are lifelessons to be found in studying most things.

A little wooden aircraft that could carry a heavier bomb load with more accuracy than a B17.
It doesn’t get enough credit.

Much Thanks!
I remember a British movie growing up that was made in 1964 called “633 Squadron” (ive seen it since as well), where they send a suicide squad of the mosquitos to destroy a Nazi V2 rocket lab. If you like the mosquito, I recommended that movie, it was pretty crazy at the end!
