Responsibility details are not available.
A photographic publication, volume 17 of the numbered Wingleader Photo Archive series from the British publisher Wingleader; the author is Ian Thirsk. The distinguishing mark here is technical: the part belongs to the bomber Mosquitoes with single-stage supercharged Merlins. The later versions of the type are dealt with by further volumes of the same series, so the number of the part tells which machines are meant.
The Mosquito was wooden, it carried no defensive armament and its defense was its speed. The bomber versions with single-stage Merlins opened the career of the type with daylight raids at low altitude, on which the crews hit individual buildings, and later they took part in night strikes. The single-stage engine is what separates these machines from the later high-altitude bombers with two-stage supercharging: they have different engine cowlings, different propellers and a different performance profile. The wooden construction moreover meant a surface without rivets, and that matters when painting a model.
For modelers who build an early bomber Mosquito and need to check the engine cowlings, the propellers and the colors, and for anyone interested in the use of the type. It is a book, not a kit, and you can use it in every scale.
