De Havilland Mosquito Manual: An insight into developing, flying, servicing and restoring Britain's legendary 'Wooden Wonder' fighter-bomber (Owners' Workshop Manual) (Haynes Owners Workshop Manuals)

My dad absolutely loves this book. It's detailed, informative and informative excellent condition. Bargain

i have a dozen of these manuals from years gone by dealing with my cars / vans / jeeps / motorcycles ... they are all dog-eared and oil-stained - i guess this one will stay clean . This is a fantastic read , a stunning collection of information and diagrams with incredible photographs too . Haynes have done something amazing here as i now have six new manuals of theirs looking at different subjects ... all are fantastic and i hope to get the Moon manual for christmas ... superb books and some are so cheap it would be simply rude not to get them ... check out the range and prepare to be enthralled as i have been

Yet another brilliantly concise publication from Haynes, lots of "new to me" photo's, and a rather inspiring look into Ardmore Aero's revival of the Mosquito as a viable aeroplane. As grandson of groundcrew of DeHavilland's wooden wonder, this backs up tales of exploits, the great thing being a section on groundcrew and servicing u der war time conditions. A fascinating read if, like me, you close to every other publication on the DH98, or, if you've been vaguely interested, and want to start looking deeper, the bibliography is extensive. A well researched book, I did notice a couple of errors in a very small number of photo captions, but overall, a very good book. Delivered next day, so no problems there. Excellent.

The enthusiasm of the author shines in this book. It's appropriately detailed on the wooden construction methods used and the lenghts that were gone to in making it come to life. I liked some of the operational vignettes, especially how hard it was to handle on the ground and at low speed. Pictures are excellant too. I've docked a star not because there is anything inherently wrong with the book, but there are slightly better similar Haynes books which flow a little easier or have a bit more technical detail.

One of the better offerings from Haynes but hardly difficult with the subject being perhaps the most beautiful aircraft ever to grace the skies. The section on the production of the aircraft and its maintenance was fascinating. Enjoy!

These Haynes manuals really are spot on. They combine history and mechanical information in an interesting and relevant way. They dont go back over old ground that has been covered previously in other Haynes books. For instance, this is the fourth of these manuals that I've bought where the engine used is the Rolls-Royce Merlin. Yet they are still providing new information that hasnt been printed in prior manuals. Maybe its because the Mosquito is my favourite all time aircraft, but I really enjoyed this book and look forward to dipping into again soon.

My Father, who flew in Mosquitos at the end of the war enjoyed reading it, particularly, recognising people who he knew. It is a part of a series of books that, whilst are not definitive, do provide a very good introduction to their subject and are worth adding to a library!

I was expecting a Haynes workshop manual, like they do with cars; this is actually an excellent book about the Mossie, and other authors/publishers should read this one to see how to do it properly! Lots of info about the Mosquito's gestation, types, WW2 and post war career; most I had read/seen before but not in one place, and there was quite a bit of new stuff as well. Highly recommended.
