About the Book

Photographic reconnaissance was of vital importance to the allied war effort during World War Two. The RAF'S Photographic Reconnaisance Unit - the PRU - operated from Benson airfield, near Oxford, with two squadrons each of Spitfires and Mosquitoes. The 'Mossie' was described by John Cunningham as the most outstanding aircraft developed during the Second World War. Focus on Europe is the story of one of the young men who flew unarmed PRU Mosquitoes on dangerous but vital reconnaisance sorties over Europe in 1943-45. Ron Foster came to the UK from New Zealand, and during that period he and his navigator flew sixty nine sorties over every country in Europe except Greece and Portugal. These included two special courier trips for Winston Churchill, one to Moscow and one to Yalta in the Crimea.
