Here http://www.fw190.org/swoose.htm are some pictures from a scrapbook that my Mother made when my Dad was in WWII. They are posted on my squad website. The scrapbook started in England and ended up when Dad was fighting  out of France. He was a b-26 pilot and completed 52 missions at the end of the war.
 Hope ya'll enjoy them as much as I have.

Thanks for posting these.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
