The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito (in Australia, colloquially the Mossie) was originally a light bomber developed and manufactured by de Havilland. In the following years, iterations were rapidly developed into multiple roles such as fighter-bomber, night fighter, maritime strike aircraft, and photo reconnaissance aircraft.

Summary

One of the most revolutionary and effective combat aircraft of WWII, the British de Havilland Mosquito was in service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1940 to 1961. A brilliant and innovative design, the 'Mossie' left a bright and lasting mark in the history of aviation and served the United States, Canada, and Australia.

An airframe built mostly of wood, to save on scarce metal supplies, earned the Mosquito the nickname "The Wooden Wonder". It was also known as 'Freeman’s Folly' after the Air Marshal who backed its production.

Armed with four 7.7 mm (0.303 in) Browning machine guns and four 20 mm (0.79 in) Hispano Mk.II cannons, this superbly versatile fighter-bomber could carry both bomb and rocket payloads over long distances at high speed — and deliver them with pinpoint accuracy.

The Mossie's ability to maintain a high cruising speed at high altitude made it very difficult for Luftwaffe fighters to intercept it.
