The Mosquito was one of the RAF's most powerful
and fastest bombers during the Second World War and was built in a total
of 5,500 units until 1945. The lightweight aircraft owes its success to
the special materials used, with wood being used instead of aluminium
for the basic structure and exterior coating. The prototype flew on 25
November 1940, after which the Wooden Miracle went into series
production. The Mosquito flew away from all German fighter planes. When
Reichsmarschall Göring organised a parade on 31.1. 1943 in
Berlin, 3 Mosquito bombers dropped their load nearby and were able to
escape in peace despite a huge fighter force. The production was
increased during the war, they were then also used as fighters and photo
reconnaissance aircraft, including by the US Army Air Corps. The
maximum speed was 611 km/h, the range 3272 km. A maximum bomb load of
906 kg could be carried.
