Groundcrew 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 WW2.
Their dangerous job as Pathfinders is to accurately mark 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 roles
so earning the nick-name
The Wooden Wonder. |
