Following on from the book 'Bad Hat Squadron', this volume covers the period May 1943 to August 1944 and the five Mosquito squadrons which operated from RAF West Malling in a night fighter role. Initially they under-took night defence duties before going onto the offensive over France and the D-Day beach heads; as well as dealing with V1 flying bombs. MS Morgan uses combat reports, aircraft loss reports, Operational Record Books and biographies to produce a chronological history and diary of the day to day events of these squadrons. The final section details many of the pilots and radar operators who served during that period. A detailed account of Britain's primary night fighter station in WW2.
