The twin engine, double seat aircraft was made primarily from wood, and was successfully used during and after the War. Between 1940 and 1950, over 7,700 Mosquitos were built. Because of its high speed and high altitude performance, the German air defences were almost completely unable to combat the Mosquito. As well as Great Britain, the Mosquito was also used by the USA, Canada, Australia, China, New Zealand, South Africa, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Israel.

  • The de Havilland Mosquito was a British combat aircraft that excelled in a number of roles during World War II. Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, uses of the Mosquito included: low to medium altitude daytime tactical bomber, high altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike and photo reconnaissance aircraft.
  • The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was a British multi-role combat aircraft, with a two-man crew, that served during the Second World War and the postwar era. The Mosquito was one of the few operational, front-line aircraft to be constructed almost entirely of wood and, as such, was nicknamed "The Wooden Wonder". It was also known affectionately as the "Mossie" to its crews Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, the Mosquito was adapted to many other roles during the air war, including: low- to medium-altitude daytime tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike aircraft, and fast photo-reconnaissance aircraft. It was also used by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) as a transport.

  • The de Havilland had a crew of two men and dual Rolls Royce Merlin Engines that were capable of propelling it at speeds of up to 610 kilometers per hour. The DH.98s armament consisted of four 7.7mm Browning machine guns and four autocannons. The DH.98 also depending on the variant could carry a number of other weapons such as bombs or torpedoes.
