The De Havilland company
was famous for producing light aircraft
and training aircraft such as the ubiquitous Tiger Moth. At the start of
WW2 they proposed a wooden bomber or reconnaissance aircraft so
fast it could be unarmed. There was no official interest so the company
proceded as a private venture.
The result is the famous
Mosquito, first flown in 1940, and produced
in over forty different variants covering the roles of fighter, bomber,
reconnaissance, trainer, target-tug, etc. Many of the most famous
aerial operations of WW2 were carried out by the Mosquito, known as
the "Wooden Wonder".
40 examples were even
used by the USAAF to replace Lockheed
F-4 aircraft (reconnaissance P-38). These were designated F-8. We
would have expected the USAAF to just use British AP's for such a
small number of aircraft but they did produce proper TO's, and we
have these manuals for this very rare aircraft.
Produced in the UK, Canada
and Australia, nearly eight thousand in
total were manufactured.
This CD contains several
pilot's flight manuals and one maintenance
manual for the De Havilland Mosquito. The CD has been
scanned from
the original flight manuals and retains any colour pages.
