A captivating history ... White used the history of these
operations to weave stories of fortitude and courage into the story
of a great machine
*Daily Telegraph*
This is history as it should be written: adrenaline-charged,
exciting, impeccably and painstakingly researched with a cast of
vividly-drawn characters. Riding through it is among the greatest,
most extraordinarily brilliant aircraft of them all: the Mosquito.
One of the most gripping works of history I’ve ever read

White's engaging style has the reader hanging on every line. It's
like the best adventure stories except this one is the real
thing
*Best of British*
The pace at which White's narrative runs along and the skill with
which he ties together the many strands of his chosen story, are
exceptional ... an excellent read, unreservedly recommended

White immerses the reader in the action from the first page ... a
must read
*Flight International*
Weaving together the story of its evolution with vivid accounts of
the crews that flew it and the Special Operations Executive on the
ground, Mosquito is both a tribute to the finest aircraft Britain
produced during the war and a page-turning thriller about its use
as the world’s first precision aerial weapon

of the SAS*
