The versatile Mosquito stood with the Spitfire fighter and Lancaster
bomber and earned the respect of British pilots during World War II. In
1939, the De Havilland company envisioned the plane to be an unarmed
high speed bomber, and had experience with the Comet, which was a wooden
racing plane. Except for the engine and landing gear, the Mosquito was
comprised of wood, offering strategic advantages. The wooden
construction wold save on important metals such as aluminum, it could
also be built in converted furniture factories. The Air Ministry was
reluctant to adopt the wooden aircraft, but placed orders for 50 planes
in March 1940 for reconnaissance use. In November 1940, the Mosquito
reached speeds of 630 km/h during test flights, demonstrating its
potential and quickly prompting additional orders of 150 planes. The
Mosquito PR Mk. I reconnaissance plane was first deployed in July 1941
the B Mk. IV bomber started deployment in the Spring of 1942. On May 31,
1942, the Mosquitoes led a daylight raid on Cairn. In September 1942,
the Gestapo headquarters in Oslo was bombed. German officials delivering
a daytime speech in Berlin were attacked on January 30, 1943. These
events demonstrated the Mosquitos ability to carry heavy loads and deliver low altitude surprise attacks with accuracy. The camera
equipped PR Mk. IV reconnaissance plane discovered the German Battleship
Tirpitz in the Artic Circle and scouted V2 rocket facilities. The
Mosquitoes performced their duties with minimal losses, displaying their remarkable abilities.
