de Havilland Mosquito Bomber Command Christmas Card by Philip E. West GAvA
Ground crews busy
themselves readying their de Havilland Mosquito as the aircrew head out towards
the aeroplane for yet another mission to a high value target over occupied
Europe during WWII. Their dangerous job as Pathfinders is to accurately mark and
bomb the target for the main heavy bomber force. It required great skill in
navigation, airmanship and courage. The Mosquito proved to be a real thoroughbred
and ideal for many varied combat sorties, so earning the nickname of 'The
Wooden Wonder'.
