Books about the British Mosquito, primarily built of wood,
the Mosquito was very fast and could outrun most Axis fighters

Truly an example of engineering ingenuity born out of the  desperation of war, the legendary "all-wooden" Mosquito was perhaps the best  twin-engined fighter-bomber of its size in WW2.  The history of the Mosquito from design through production. Initially rejected  by the Air Ministry due to its unorthodox "all-wooden" design, wartime materials  shortages meant that work on the Mosquito soon began in earnest.  Please Note:  The specifications on this page are only for a single model of this airplane.

by Jeffrey L. Ethell, Warren Bodie (Contributor), Bob Boyd (Illustrator) Jeffrey Ethell put together a wonderful collection of original WWII vintage color pictures of military aircraft, primarily from the European Theater of Operations. The book is light on text, but the pictures more than make up for this shortcoming. Mr. Ethell, who unfortunately died in a crash of a P-38 in 1997, was a foremost authority of military aircraft and amassed an amazing collection of color photographs from WWII. Just a small fraction of these are displayed in this wonderful book. If you are a fan of WWII military aircraft, this book is a must for your collection.
