Night Fighter over Germany : Flying Beaufighters and Mosquitoes in World War 2

Night Fighter over Germany : Flying Beaufighters and Mosquitoes in World War 2 By White, Graham
2007 | 478 Pages | ISBN: 1783460768 | EPUB | 2 MB


These are the highly evocative wartime memoirs of a young NCO pilot whose operational experience was with Beaufighters and Mosquitoes flying in the long-range night-fighter role. It is not a gung-ho account of daring-do, but a 'warts and all' story of what life was really like in that time of international crisis. No punches are pulled when the author experienced badly designed and dangerous aircraft, such as the Merlin-engined Beaufighter that was almost impossible to fly and killed many pilots during training, nor are the blinding errors made by those staff officers who conceived impossible.
