Mosquito - 633 Squadron Bump!

A tribute to all Mosquito aircrew of WWII. In a devastating attack a MkII Mosquito of 264 Squadron destroys an intruding FW-190 over London, 1943.

Leonard Cheshire prepares to dive his Mosquito and drop target marker flares as a guide for the following 617 sqdn. Lancasters.

The crew of an 8th Air Force Mosquito prepare for another reconnaissance mission that will take them deep into enemy territory, with only speed and stealth as their defence. The photographs they bring back will be crucial to the planning of future bombing missions.

RAF Mosquitos on a Day Ranger Mission attack a German fighter station shortly after D-Day.
