#MastodonMosquitoMoment This wartime photograph shows a number of DH Mosquito B. Mk IV lined up, prior to a daylight raid on an enemy target in Europe. The B.Mk. IV was the first bomber version of the Mosquito to enter service with the Royal Air Force, and these aircraft are from No. 139 Squadron, RAF, the second unit to be equipped with the Mosquito bomber. Initially used on daring daylight raids, the bomber versions of the Mosquito had no defensive armament, and relied on sheer speed to evade enemy fighters. The People's Mosquito is restoring a fighter-bomber version of the famed Mosquito in the UK. #RAF #RoyalAirForce #bomber #BomberCommand #DeHavilland #Mosquito #WW2 #history #Europe #aircraft #avgeek #TPM #ThePeoplesMosquito #UK
