	De Havilland Mosquito - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was changed to a formaldehyde-based preparation when the Mosquito was introduced to fighting in semi-tropical and tropical climates, after some unexplained crashes led to the suspicion that the glue was unable to withstand the climate.
		Mosquitos were widely used by the RAF Pathfinder Force which marked targets for night-time strategic bombing.
		Mosquito movement from Canada to the war front was unreliable, as a small fraction of the aircraft would mysteriously explode in transit over the mid-Atlantic.

	De Havilland Mosquito - Great Britain
		In fact the ubiquitous Mosquito reigned supreme among General Purpose types; and of the grand total of 7,781 Mosquitos built, 6,710 were delivered during the war years.
		It had been discovered that the Mosquito was able to accommodate a much greater warload than that for which it had been designed, and thus the Mark VI, with a strengthened wing for external loads which later became known as the "basic" wing, carried a full complement of cannon and machine-guns, two 500-lb.
		Of the Mosquitos built in Canada, the F.B.26 was one of the chief variants, the design of which was based upon that of the F.B.VI.

	de Havilland DH 98 Mosquito
		The members of the Mosquito design team included the chief designer and team leader, R. Bishop, Richard M. Clarkson, assistant chief engineer and Mosquito aerodynamicist, C. Wilkins, assistant chief designer and the fuselage specialist, W. Tamblin, senior designer and the wing specialist, and Fred Plumb who managed constructing the prototype.
		A photo-reconnaissance D. 98 flew the first operational Mosquito sortie to survey the western part of the border between France and Spain on September 17, 1941.
		The 12ft 5in (3.8 m) gun was mounted at a slightly downward angle and protruding 2 feet (600mm) from the nose.

	De Havilland "Mosquito" NF-30
		Known under the nickname Wooden Wonder, the Mosquito was born as a private venture.
		Mosquitoes were even used as a civilian "airliner" between Great Britain and Sweden and a special version, with folding wings, was produced towards the end of the second World War for the Royal Navy.
		The Mosquito NF 30 was officially written off in1956 and the survivors scrapped.

	::The Mosquito::
		The Mosquito — in full the De Havilland DH-98 Mosquito — was a twin-engine, two-seat bomber that was modified to serve as a fighter which could operate during the day or at night or as a photoreconnaissance plane.
		With such qualities, the Mosquito was an excellent plane for photo reconnaissance and it started this task in September 1941.
		The Mosquito was also used for the bombing of specific targets as it had the speed for low level accurate bombing.

	De Havilland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initially de Havilland concentrated on single and two-seat biplanes, essentially continuing the DH line of aircraft built by Airco, but engined with de Havilland's own Gipsy engines.
		The high-performance designs and wooden construction methods culminated in perhaps the most famous de Havilland aircraft - the Mosquito, constructed primarily of wood because of the shortage of aluminium during the war.
		A total of 212 Mosquitos were built at Bankstown between 1943 and 1948.

		On 27 January 1943 DK333 was one of three Mosquitoes to drop the first ground target indicators (250-lb marker bombs) in action.
		The Mosquito NF was the first night fighter to be stationed in the Mediterranean, fighting from Malta as day and night fighter.
		Today, only one Mosquito continues to be operational, although as of this writing it has not flown in several years.

		The Mosquito served with distinction as fighter-bomber, recconaissance aircraft and nightfighter.
		Because of the glued-and-screwed wooden construction, early Mosquitoes were not suited to the tropics where exposure to high humidity and rain caused the airframe to warp and the glue to dissolve.
		One Mosquito LR359 was fitted with an arrester hook and served as pre-prototype for the De Havilland Mosquito TR.33 and arrived at the RAE, Farnborough on 28 February 1944 for Deck Landing trials and in March 1944 was sent to 778 squadron at Crail for further Deck Landing trials.

	The DH Mosquito - A History
		It was here, in September 1939, the de Havilland Aircraft Company established the Mosquito design team in the Hall, the Prototype Mosquito, E0234/W4050, subsequently being built in the adjacent buildings.
		It had the four.303 guns and four 20mm cannon of the night fighter, but could also carry two 500lb bombs internally, and from 1944 on wards they were equipped to carry four rockets or a 500lb bomb under each wing.
		Perhaps the most unusual version was the Sea Mosquito TR.33, a highly modified version which was designed for carrier operations -- a plan that was abandoned when the war ended.

	[3.0] Hornet & Sea Hornet / Variant Summary
		However, during 1942, DH had begun a private investigation of a single-seat fighter based on the Mosquito.
		The fuselage was built of wood in much the same way as the Mosquito, but the two-spar, one-piece, laminar-flow wing was of mixed construction, with a wood and metal internal structure, an undersurface of reinforced Alcad, and a birch-ply upper skin.
		Although the Mosquito had a relatively long service life, the evolution of its design was modest, with final marks generally similar in appearance to early marks.

	De Havilland Mosquito
		In 1943, Mosquitoes built at the Hatfield factory began "piling up waiting for their test flight which de Havilland was unable to perform quickly enough.
		ow the Mosquito had a maximum speed of a little over 400 mph which was moving in those days, and when it went into a vertical dive speed increased dramatically.
		The Mosquito is now in storage at the Museum's Paul Garber Facility and it is slated for display at the new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles International Airport.

		Outbreaks may be explosive or progressive, depending on the density and susceptibility of the vector, the strain of dengue virus, the immune level in the human population, and the amount of vector-human contact.
		In 1985, a mosquito from Asia, Aedes albopictus, was found in the U.S. This species is now found in most states in the eastern half of the U.S. and limited areas of Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic.
		In the Western Hemisphere, the Aedes aegypti mosquito is the most important transmitter or vector of dengue viruses, although a 2001 outbreak in Hawaii was transmitted by Aedes albopictus.

	DH Mosquito
		The first to fly was the bomber prototype W4050 on November 25, 1940 followed by the night fighter model on May 15, 1941 and then the photo-reconnaissance model on June 10, 1941.
		Mosquitos were widely used by the RAF Pathfinder Force to mark targets for night-time strategic bombing, and Mosquito bombers hauled a 4,000 lb (1,800 kg) "block-buster" bomb in their internal bomb bay to Berlin at a comparitively fractional cost when compared to the contemporary B-17 or Lancaster running costs and operational-losses.
		DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO B.IV The B.IV had a glass nose for a bombardier and although designed to carry four 112 kilogram (250 pound) bombs, this was ingeniously increased to four 225 kilogram (500 pound) bombs before Series I aircraft reached operational units in 1941.

	de Havilland Mosquito
		Like the Beaufighter, the importance of the Mosquito has been widely recognised and there is a vast literature readily found in libraries, bookshops and on the Web.
		Armed with four 20mm cannon, four.303in machine guns and capable of carrying two 500lb bombs internally plus externally-racked bombs, rockets or drop-tanks, the FB VI was admirably suited to the sort of strike role that had been the Beaufighter’s forté in the Burma theatre.
		The break-up of the Mosquito was witnessed from the ground.

		The Mosquito, or the DH-98 De Havilland Mosquito to give its full name, almost wasn't.
		The Mosquito was a very powerful machine, so powerful that the 'unarmed' idea could be updated, weapons could be fitted to the 'plane and they were.
		The Mosquito proved itself very quickly, and the original order was quickly changed to 20 PR versions and 30 Bomber (B) versions.

	Airfix 1/72 DH Mosquito NF.XIX/J.30
		The Mosquito origins are well documented, being an all wooden aircraft when most planes were being built in aluminium.
		To be frank, you could depict almost any night fighter type Mosquito because the nose included on the fuselage halves covers the main Mosquito fighter/fighter-bomber variants plus the antenna array is also included in the kit.
		Certainly as a different Mosquito I would give this kit the thumbs up, but only to those who know what they are doing and have the skills to overcome some of the mentioned obstacles.

	de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito - SC-0074
		The de Havilland Mosquito was originally intended for use as an unarmed bomber or reconnaissance aircraft, one that would fly so fast and high that defensive armament would be superfluous.
		It was not until World War II had started, however, that the Air Ministry gave serious thought to the possibility that light alloys might become in short supply.
		At that time there must have been some doubt among the crews who were to fly these aircraft of just how this "plywood" bomber would withstand the enemy's defenses.

		The Lancaster seen here was flown by 635 Squadron from Downham Market, Norfolk in 1944 and is recognisable by its deleted nose and dorsal turrets and striped tail fin.
		The Mosquito served with 109 Suadron for 18 days between June 17th and 5th July 1943.
		In April 1944 it dropped TI's for the first of three waves of Mosquitoes involved in the raid on Berlin.

		The Mosquito, like a number of other superb aircraft, was born of private venture not a government specification.
		The De Havilland company decided to take out all that was thought unnecessary in the way of defensive armament and protection when they designed the Mosquito.
		The weight saving and superbly streamlined design would increase the speed so much that defence would not be necessary; nothing would catch the Mosquito.

		The DH-98 Mosquito, created privately by De Havilland, was too advanced a project to be accepted by Air Ministry in 1938.
		Immediately named a "must" by the Air Ministry, the first recon version of the Mosquito entered service in 1941, followed by a bomber version and night-interception version.
		The Mosquito was also built on license in Canada and Australia, and remained in service with the RAF until the beginning of '60s.

		Brief description: The Dehaviland Mosquito was known throughout the war as a successful low altitude bomber.
		Several squadrons of these fighters were famous for their daring exploits.The Mosquito was fast and used two inline engines driving large propellers.It was nearly as fast as the Spitfires and carried machine guns for strafing.These aircraft were featured in the movies “633 Squadron” and “Mosquito Squadron”.
		This model was built near to scale and includes animatable control surfaces, landing gear and doors.It is built with animation in mind and renders out very nicely.The exterior of this model is very detailed and it also comes with pilot and navigator in the cockpit.

		The DH 98 Mosquito was remarkable both in terms of performance and construction.
		PR Mark 34 The war in the Far East called for a long-range version of the Mosquito and resulted in the PR Mk XVI with extra fuel in a bulged fuselage and wing drop tanks; range was 3,600 miles.
		The remaining Mosquito marks were reserved for Australian types, none of which served with British services.
