The Mosquito Raiders 1940-1945

One of the most specialised roles of De Havilland's "Wooden Wonder", the ultra-fast Mosquito fighter-bomber, was pinpoint raids in support of the Resistance movements in Nazi-occupied Europe. And one of the most spectacular examples was the attack on Amiens prison before D-Day which freed a large numbers of key Resistance leaders who were facing imminent execution.
