Description
The de Havilland Mosquito entered service in 1941 and was a triumph of innovation, using a mostly wood construction to create a light fast bomber that could out-run enemy fighters.
The Mosquito proved it's speed on it's first operation, when a PR version was able to leave three Bf-109s behind. Different versions of the Mosquito were used by several air forces during and after WW2.
The Mosquito was armed with 4 x 7.7mm machine guns and 4 x 20mm cannon (Fighter) and could also carry 4 x 500lb bombs (Bomber) or 2 x 250lb bombs (Fighter-Bomber)
This example is a Mosquito FB Mk VI of the Turkish Air Force 1947.
