SynopsisOne of the rarest and least documented versions of the versatile de Havilland Mosquito, the Mosquito Mk XVII was armed with a 57mm gun. Originally intended for anti-tank duties, the 17 airframes produced served instead with Coastal Command on missions. This book tells the full story of the development and operational service of the Tse-tse (so-called because it was like a mosquito but with a bigger sting!), and is fully illustrated with photos, scale plans, detail drawings and color profiles., One of the rarest and least documented versions of the versatile de Havilland Mosquito, the Mosquito Mk XVII was armed with a 57mm gun.
