MOSQUITO: THE RAFS LEGENDARY WOODEN WONDER (PB)

The Mossie's reputation was cemented by a series of daredevil bombing raids across occupied Europe. When Churchill's top secret Special Operations Executive needed to destroy the Gestapo HQ in the centre of Copenhagen, there was only one machine for the job. This is the story of that legendary aircraft told through that one impossible mission.
