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

All good with this book ...great photo quality and ample explanatory test and concise history.

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

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.

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.

The first all round plane and trend setter the Moaquito was designed to bomb and not to dogfight as are most planes do these days it was also a long range spotter and a nightfigher and wood does not show much on radar so it was the first stealth bomber

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.

My dad absolutely loves this book. It's detailed, informative and informative excellent condition. Bargain

The book is very well written and illustrated and can be understood by a novice, niot too much "anorak" information which can spoil books on this subject matter. I'm going to buy additional types of plane.

Bonne synthèse de ce qui rend cet avion exceptionnel

Great book

Das Buch zeigt sowohl die technische als auch die entwicklungs- wie einsatzmäßige Geschichte der Mosquito auf, dabei sehr detailreich und tiefgehend. Selbst wie sie sich fliegt, wird behandelt. Ich kann das Buch daher nur weiterempfehlen.

👍🏻👍🏻

Don't let the shop-manual layout fool you, this is a serious enthusiast's reference book. From the back story, through the design details, the stories of the people who built and flew it, it's a fascinating read for an aircraft enthusiast. It also does have all kinds of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and assembly information, so it could be used as an owner's manual, though I don't personally know any current owners. Part of the problem, as the book spells out, is that the Mosquito was designed as a war plane in a time of great need, with little thought for longevity. Wonderful insight into aircraft history and history itself.
