EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and imposing presence of a de Havilland DH-98 Mosquito FB-6 in flight during the 1940s. The Mosquito, a legendary British piston-engine aircraft produced by de Havilland, was a versatile design that saw service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in various roles, including as a fighter, fighter-bomber, and photo reconnaissance platform. In this image, we see a Mosquito FB-6 of 143 Squadron, adorned with the distinctive roundels and fin flash of the RAF. The aircraft is equipped with underwing bomb racks, transforming it into a formidable fighter-bomber. The Mosquito's advanced design, featuring a wooden airframe covered in plywood and doped fabric, made it exceptionally lightweight and agile, allowing it to outmaneuver many of its opponents during World War II. The Mosquito's first operational sortie took place in 1941, and it quickly gained a reputation as a formidable and versatile aircraft. Its impressive performance and capabilities earned it the nickname "The Wooden Wonder." This photograph, taken during the war years, offers a glimpse into the history of this iconic aircraft and the vital role it played in the RAF's efforts during World War II. The de Havilland DH-98 Mosquito FB-6 remains a beloved symbol of British aviation history, and this photograph is a testament to its enduring legacy. The image is part of the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library and is available for rights-managed licensing.
