In 1996 I bought a book, hardcover, at Heathrow Airport on the "Mosquito". The most comprehensive book I have ever see.

It was not only full of photographs of the plane, with every variation on camouflage, even the civil marking used as a transport flying from Sweden during the war. But I was most impressed with was the detailed line drawings of every part of the aircraft. All the interior, the fuselage, wing interiors, landing wheel drawings, and how the armament was attached, and about everything else you would want to see. I have never see a book like it since. My problem is I had loan the book to someone, who then moved and took the book with him. Where he moved I don't know. Has anyone see a book like this? I have bought several books hoping they were the one I was looking for, but they were not.

If you have see it please let me know the correct title and author, I would like to obtain a copy again.

Thanks
Mike

This is the best book on the Mosquito published to date so far as I’m aware, but it doesn’t have everything you seek. First published in 1971, an updated edition came out in 1995.

Thank you, I have checked this book out and I think it is the one I have been looking for. I looked it up on eBay and it did show the interior pages, and there were all the drawings I remember. I ordered it from AbeBooks who I have used before. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Thanks again
Mike
