The Mosquito was one of the RAF's most powerful and fastest bombers during World War II and a total of 5,500 units were built until 1945.

The prototype flew on November 25, 1940, after which the wooden miracle went into series production.
The Mosquito flew away from all German fighter planes. As Reich Marshal Göring on January 31st. In 1943, while trying to hold a parade in Berlin, 3 Mosquito Bombers dropped their load nearby and were able to escape in peace despite a huge contingent of fighters.
