Philip West's tribute to the Pathfinders that flew the de Havilland Mosquito. 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 and bomb the target for the main heavy bomber force requiring great skill in navigation, airmanship and courage. The Mosquito proved to be a real thoroughbred and ideally suited for many varied combat sorties thus earning the nick-name "The Wooden Wonder". 40 Artist Proof Editions.
