Mosquito Pathfinders
Philip West
Size: 28" x 18" Edition: 100 Subject: Pathfinder crew preparing for a night mission.
Groundcrew busy themselves readying their de Havilland Mosquito as the aircrew head out towards the aircraft for yet another mission to a high value target over occupied Europe during WW2. Their dangerous job as Pathfinders is to accurately mark and bomb the target for the main heavy bomber force. It required great skill in navigation, airmanship and courage. The Mosquito proved to be a real thoroughbred and idea for many varied combat sorties so earning the nick-name The Wooden Wonder.
Each print in Philip West's Limited Edition, Mosquito Pathfinder, is signed by Mosquito pliot: Flying Officer Doug Waite
