270731 - DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO Part Two: Single Stage Merlin Fighters (Photo Archive 31)

By Ian Thirsk

Taken from the Publishers website:-

Continuing with the mammoth task of covering all types of Mosquitos in the WPA series, Ian Thirsk now turns his attentions to the fighters. Again, we had far too much material to fit into one volume, so this one follows the lead of the bombers by covering the single-stage Merlin variants in this first part.

Ian was of course Head of Collections and Research at the RAFM and has also been a volunteer member of the DH Museum’s Mosquito restoration team for over forty years, so is the perfect author for such a task.

This volume covers the F. Mk. II through to the NF. Mk. XIX. A huge amount of extra ‘kit’ was installed during this development and we’ve tried to cover it all 72 pages.

To this end, the author has made great use of letters and numbers to identify various interior and exterior details which are so vital for the experienced modellers.

‍This book contains approx 120 original wartime/post-war photos and 6 in-depth colour profiles.

Other titles in the series include Supermarine Spitfire Mk 1, Messerschmitt Bf 109 Volume One, Hawker Hurricane Mk 1, Messerschmitt Bf 109 Volume Two, Avro Lancaster Mk I/III, Avro Lancaster Part 3: Mks II, V1, X, type 464 and B1, Supermarine Spitfire Mk V, Short Stirling Mk I/III, De Havilland Vampire, Messerschmitt Bf 109 E Volume Three, Bristol Beaufighter, Gloster Gladiator, Heinkel  He 111 Units, Bristol Beaufighter Mk VIC, Mk X and XI, DH Mosquito Bombers, Westland Whirlwind, Spitfire Mk IX, Hawker Typhoon Part Two, N/American Mustang in RAF Service, Avro Manchester, P-40 Tomahawk and Kittyhawk, Avro Anson Mk I, Supermarine Spitfire Mk I/II, Handley Page Halifax, Douglas Boston/Havoc, Consolidated Liberator.
