The design's superb performance, and ability to escape interception by enemy fighters made the Mosquito the ideal choice for the RAF's then embryonic photographic reconnaissance force. The production standard PR1 subsequently became the first Mosquito variant of any kind to see operational service with the RAF, flying its first sortie [over France] on 20 September 1941. These aircraft flew all manner of bomber support missions ranging from simple post-raid photo-recce to weather checking and experimental H2X radar photo-mapping. All are detailed in this volume. This volume, one of three "Osprey Combat Aircraft" titles on the Mosquito, focuses on reconaissance variants and their users. The plane's high performance gave it the ability to escape interception by enemy fighters. The text covers recce tactics, operations and a spread on crew uniforms. 'The military organisation with the most efficient photographic reconnaissance will win the next war', said Gen von Fritsch, later Chief of the German General Staff, in 1938.
