Originally designed as a high-speed unarmed light bomber, the de Havilland D.H.98 Mosquito proved one of the most versatile aeroplanes of World War II, serving in a wide variety of roles, and excelling at each and every one. The Mosquito was built t almost entirely of plywood, sparing the use of metals that were then in short supply. Powered by two 1,620-hp Rolls-Royce Merlin 25 12-cylinder liquid-cooled vee engines (FB.Mk VI). With an original range of 1,650 miles and a maximum speed at 5,500ft of 362mph.

It is then no wonder that Hermann Goring said "It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito...The British...knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have no increased yet again."
