This is the story of the Intruders, a group of airmen dubbed the `Bandits of the Air' by the Nazis during the Second World War thanks to its members' exploits in the skies above Europe's battlefields.
This episode focuses on the 'Mosquito' - a seemingly innocuous and cheap fighter plane that terrorised the German Air Force. Made entirely out of wood, the Mosquito was initially dismissed by the British government, yet due to its remarkable speed and exceptional manoeuvrability, the bomber soon became a crucial part of the Royal Air Force during World War Two.
