^ What he said about Terror in the Starboard Seat. Really, it's probably the best war memoir I've read, all Mosquito-fan stuff aside.
Thanks also Guppy for the link to the book site. Royalties from Amazon purchases go to the Mosquito Museum.
Technical books though, well, that's a bit tougher. "The Mosquito Manual" is fun, in nerdy kind of way. "Construction of the DH. 98. Mosquito", first book on the website page, isn't exactly a gripping read but it's exellent background stuff.
For operational info, I like The Mosquito Log a great deal - I think it's a very under-rated little book, collection of first-hand stories from various Mossie operational viewpoints: Night-fighter, day bomber, Israeli ops, etc.
A Separate Little War is an extremely well-researched account of the Banff strike wing. A Most Secret Squadron is almost as good, and has the added flavour of being a first-hand account.
The Gestapo Hunters is also reputed to be very good, though I've not read it - 464 Squadron RAAF / 2nd TAF low-level strike stuff.
Mosquito Thunder is about as good as it gets for Mosquito bomber stuff - takes the story of 105 Sqn. from the earliest day-bombing Mossie raids through to the end of the war. Again, extremely well researched.
It's not listed on the site, but there's a book called, I think, Mosquito Pathfinder, by Albert and Ian Smith, which is also an excellent first-hand account. Albert was the father, Ian his son and a professional writer, so it's better than just "and then I ..."
Enjoy, mate.
