Summary

[edit]
Description
Nederlands: de Havilland Mosquito B35 in het RAF Museum, Hendon, London.De de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito is een Brits tweemotorig multifunctioneel gevechtsvliegtuig dat werd geïntroduceerd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Omdat de romp grotendeels van hout was kreeg het de bijnaam “Wooden Wonder”. In 1941 was het een van de snelste operationele vliegtuigen ter wereld.]

Oorspronkelijk ontworpen als een ongewapende snelle bommenwerper, evolueerde het gebruik van de Mosquito tijdens de oorlog naar vele rollen, waaronder lage tot middelhoge tactische bommenwerper voor overdag, hoge nachtbommenwerper, pathfinder, dag- of nachtjager, jachtbommenwerper, maritiem-aanvals- en fotoverkenningsvliegtuig.

Op 12 maart 1945 maakte de laatste bommenwerpervariant van de Mosquito, de B35, zijn eerste testvlucht. De oorlog was al voorbij voordat hij operationeel kon worden ingezet, maar hij kwam in dienst bij de naoorlogse Royal Air Force en deed dienst als bommenwerper tot begin 1954.
English: de Havilland Mosquito B35 at the RAF Museum, Hendon, London.The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito is a British twin-engined, multirole combat aircraft, introduced during the Second World War. Unusual in that its airframe was constructed mostly of wood, it was nicknamed the "Wooden Wonder". In 1941, it was one of the fastest operational aircraft in the world.

Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, the Mosquito's use evolved during the war into many roles, including low- to medium-altitude daytime tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike, and photo-reconnaissance aircraft.

On 12 March 1945 the last bomber variant of the Mosquito, the B35, made its first test flight. The war had ended before it could be used operationally, but it entered service with the post-war Royal Air Force and served as a bomber until the beginning of 1954.
