	Mosquito (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Influenced by the record breaking twin engine DeHavilland Comet, the all wood Mosquito was conceived in the late 1930’s as a high speed, unarmed bomber.
		The Mosquito’s outstanding performance allowed it to be used in fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, and ground attack roles and as a radar-equipped interceptor and night fighter.
		The Mosquito was used in many forms and in many air forces during WWII and therefore is a modeler’s delight with the number of variants and color schemes that can be modeled.

	De Havilland Mosquito - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mosquito was conceived as a fast day bomber that could outrun all contemporary fighters and hence dispensed with defensive armament; however, due to its speed, agility and its exceptional durability due to its wooden design, it was also used as a fighter.
		Mosquito night intruders were also fitted with a device called "Serrate" to allow them to track down German night fighters from their Lichtenstein B/C and SN2 radar emissions, as well as a device named "Perfectos" that tracked German IFF.
		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.

		The original Mosquito design dated from 1938 but it was not until March 1940 that there was sufficient interest in the aircraft for construction to commence.

		The Mosquito PR.34 was the primary reconnaissance asset for the RAF until replaced by the English Electric Canberra in the early 1950s.
		One of the drawbacks of its wooden construction was that the Mosquito hasn't aged as gracefully as all-metal aircraft.

	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.

		British DeHavilland Mosquito Mk VI There are many stories about how and why the DeHavilland Aircraft Company had R.E. Bishop design the remarkable D.H. 98 Mosquito back in 1938.
		Some stories claim that DeHavilland brought the concept of a fast, unarmed twin-engined bomber to the RAF and were turned down so they then developed it on their own.
		Another story is that the RAF people were convinced that DeHavilland was living in the past when they suggested an all-wood airplane in the era of all-metal fighters like the Spitfire and Bf-109 (nearly all metal had they did have fabric covered control surfaces).

		Remarks by Carlo Soliani and Johan Visschedijk: "D.H.98 Mosquito prototype is pictured several days before the first flight of 24 November 1940.
		These early Mosquitoes were characterized by “short type” engine nacelles (each nacelle ends exactly at the trailing edge of the wing, while in all the following versions the “long type” nacelle protrudes well beyond the trailing edge).

		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.

		As a long-range fighter the Mosquito was equally effective in daylight and night missions, and it was a match for the German night fighters as well as for the V-1 and V-2 flying bombs.
		The Mosquito’s success was due to a combination of factors, including the design concept which resulted in the smallest fuselage compatible with the two Merlin engines, the carefully studied aerodynamic lines, and the favorable weight-to-power ratio.
		After 466 Mosquito MK.I. right fighters had been built, two other models were produced: The MK.XII, which appeared in March 1943 (97 aircraft) and the MK.XIII, which appeared in February, 1944 (230 aircraft), because of the Mosquito’s great success a fighter-bomber was also developed.

Wilkins, assistant chief designer and the fuselage specialist, W. Tamblin, senior designer and the wing specialist, and Fred Plumb who managed constructing the prototype.
		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.
		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.

		For this reason, the Mosquito NF Mk.II came to be equipped with a new centrimetric radar known as the A.I. Mk.VIII.
		The new A.I. Mk.VII radar was also fitted to an airframe based on the Mosquito FB Mk.VI, inside a "bullnose" radome on the nose, resulting in gallon drop tanks, and was powered by two of wither the Merlin 21 or 23 engines.
