First entering service in 1941 the legendary 'all-wooden' Mosquito was one of the best twin-engined aircraft of its size to see action in World War II. The addition of radar turned the Mosquito into the RAF's premier night fighter; and it achieved great success in the defence of Britain; with some 600 raiders and 600 V1 rockets falling to its guns between 1942 and 1945. The design's superb performance; and ability to escape interception by enemy fighters also made the Mosquito the ideal choice for the RAF's photographic reconnaissance force. This wide range of roles across multiple theatres and air forces are all reflected in the variety of kits built and colour schemes shown throughout this book.

" Lenin's; Political Matrix"; clarified.By Christopher CondonThe thing I most likely about Tariq Alis writing generally and in particular his assessments of " Lenin's Legacy"; is Tariq's ability to " Join a lot of Historical / Political / Social Dots";together." The Dilemmas of Lenin" succeeds in both Enlightening and Clarifying Lenin's ongoing importance ; for both " Students and Newcomers to Lenin's importance as a " Domenica " of Political Thought.13 of 16 people found the following review helpful. What is to be done right now.By JujubeeA Splendid refreshing re-view of Lenin and his intellectual legacy and his PRAXIS.The work itself is scholarly-like with footnote citations where necessary yet not overly inudating with stale self-laudation that is typical of a ivory tower tenants.In the spirit of Antonio Negri this work is necessary in todays ideologically sterile world. Empty consumerism can be juxtaposed on the 1970's. The Brigate Rosse; German anarcho leftist guerrillas FORCING the state apparatus to address working class people. We must return to ideology.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent introduction to Lenin and the Bolshevik RevolutionBy lma386Excellent introduction to Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution. Another reviewer nailed it; though: there's not too much in here for those with a moderate familiarity with this history. Nonetheless; a beautifully written book; and a welcome addition to the flourishing literature on the Soviet Union written by knowledgeable comrades.
