De Havilland Mosquito Manual: An insight into developing, flying, servicing and restoring Britain's legendary 'Wooden Wonder' fighter-bomber (Owners' ... Britain's 'Wooden Wonder' fighter-bomber

Yet another brilliantly concise publication from Haynes, lots of "new to me" photo's, and a rather inspiring look into Ardmore Aero's revival of the Mosquito as a viable aeroplane. As grandson of groundcrew of DeHavilland's wooden wonder, this backs up tales of exploits, the great thing being a section on groundcrew and servicing u der war time conditions. A fascinating read if, like me, you close to every other publication on the DH98, or, if you've been vaguely interested, and want to start looking deeper, the bibliography is extensive. A well researched book, I did notice a couple of errors in a very small number of photo captions, but overall, a very good book. Delivered next day, so no problems there. Excellent.

These Haynes manuals really are spot on. They combine history and mechanical information in an interesting and relevant way. They dont go back over old ground that has been covered previously in other Haynes books. For instance, this is the fourth of these manuals that I've bought where the engine used is the Rolls-Royce Merlin. Yet they are still providing new information that hasnt been printed in prior manuals. Maybe its because the Mosquito is my favourite all time aircraft, but I really enjoyed this book and look forward to dipping into again soon.

The enthusiasm of the author shines in this book. It's appropriately detailed on the wooden construction methods used and the lenghts that were gone to in making it come to life. I liked some of the operational vignettes, especially how hard it was to handle on the ground and at low speed. Pictures are excellant too.I've docked a star not because there is anything inherently wrong with the book, but there are slightly better similar Haynes books which flow a little easier or have a bit more technical detail.

Another excellent Haynes book this time on the famous wooden wonder. Well illustrated on quality paper with most illustrations in colour. Good read and recommended to add to the book shelf of any Mosquito enthusiast.

i have a dozen of these manuals from years gone by dealing with my cars / vans / jeeps / motorcycles ... they are all dog-eared and oil-stained - i guess this one will stay clean . This is a fantastic read , a stunning collection of information and diagrams with incredible photographs too . Haynes have done something amazing here as i now have six new manuals of theirs looking at different subjects ... all are fantastic and i hope to get the Moon manual for christmas ... superb books and some are so cheap it would be simply rude not to get them ... check out the range and prepare to be enthralled as i have been

Great book, really interesting to an enthusiast and scale modeller.

A very interesting hard back well produced book full of detail and information and brings the subject right up to date with the recent restoration undertaken in New Zealand. The text is clear and well laid out with clearly indicated subject headings within each chapter and the text is interspersed with many photographs old and new in both black and white and colour. All photos have captions and in many instances give more specific details that add to the text information.The Bibliography and sources section is comprehensive and both Appendix 1 and 2 especially 1 which gives details on the many variants are of value.The packaging was sturdy and the book arived ahead of the due date without damage.

fantastic book up to Haynes normal standard of expertise ,building 1/24 airfix mossie soon and needed the reference information to help .service was rapid well packed spot on guys
