Film Description
Three of the very best documentaries about this extraordinary plane. Comprises:
Men and Mosquitos
A celebration of the Mosquito, combining wartime film of the Mosquito in action with exclusive interviews with those who flew her, including Air Chief Marshal Sir Christopher Foxley-Norris, Captain Eric Brown, Joan Hughes, Captain Kenneth Lockwood and Flight Lieutenant William W. Topper. Other highlights include footage of raids on Norway, a 627 Squadron reunion, a look at Mosquitos in the Pathfinders
and Tony Agar’s rebuild project.
Mosquitos Airborne
A thrilling account of 50 years of Mosquito history, with much rare material including remarkable private colour footage taken in 1944. Highlights include film taken inside Salisbury Hall and the flight of the first prototype, the Amiens prison raid, colour film of 627 Squadron at Woodhall Spa, gun camera action from Polish Mosquito squadrons, the Atlantic crossing in 1988 by Mosquito B35 SR712 and interviews with ex-Mosquito veterans including Group Captain
Walter J. Goldsmith, founder of the Mosquito Aircraft Museum.
Mosquitos in the Making
Shot in 1945, this unique film provides a truly detailed record of the construction of a Mosquito from start to finish, affording an excellent insight into its wings and fuselage which consisted almost entirely of wood and which led to the Mosquito being nicknamed ‘The Wooden Wonder’.
