The
famous British Mosquito--known to many as "Mossie"--was
a versatile aircraft used extensively during World War II.
Constructed primarily of plywood with a balsa wood core, it had
excellent speed, altitude and range. First flown on November 25,
1940, the Mosquito entered production in Mid-1941 and was produced
until well after the end of the war. Almost 8,000 Mossies were
built in Great Britain, Canada and Australia. Although best known
for their service with the Royal Air Force, Mosquitos were also
used by several U.S. Army Air Forces units for photo and weather
reconnaissance, and as night fighters. It served in Europe, the
Middle and Far east and on the Russian front. In fact the 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.
