Wiki info about Mosquito FB Mk VI

Official War Thunder wiki

A twin engine monoplane which entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1941, the de Havilland Mosquito was originally conceived as a high speed bomber/reconnaissance aircraft whose performance would be so outstanding that defensive armament was not required. When its plans were originally drawn up in the autumn of 1938, a second alarming feature was conceived – to save materials for other war machines, the Mosquito would be made of largely of wood. This concept was perhaps too advanced for the British Air Ministry, and it was not until after the beginning of the Second World War that de Havilland’s plans were seriously considered. The prototype first flew in November 1940, and shortly after astounded any sceptics by demonstrating a top speed of just under 400 mph and an exceptional manoeuvrability for its size. The first Mosquito to enter service, the PR Mk I, was a photographic reconnaissance aircraft which, like the original plans, was unarmed. On its first operational sortie over occupied France, it easily outran three Messerschmitt 109s. The second major production variant was the B Mk IV, a bomber with the range to reach Berlin. For the first major fighter-bomber variant, the Mosquito FB Mk VI, the airframe was based on the F Mk II and first flew on June 1st 1942. The first series of Mosquito FB Mk VI Srs.1 aircraft (300 in number) were equipped with a liquid cooled engine, the Rolls Royce Merlin Mk21, Mk23, or later the Mk25. The aircraft were armed with four fuselage-mounted 20mm British-Hispano Mk II cannons and four 0.303 inch Colt-Browning Mk II machine guns. In addition, the aircraft inherited the F Mk II's capacity for carrying two 250 lb (113 kg) bombs on underwing pylons. The internal bomb bay was completely filled with the aircraft’s weaponry and an extra fuel tank. The FB Mk VI Srs.2, the second production series, was fitted with the Merlin Mk 25 engine, guaranteeing the best possible performance characteristics at low and medium altitude. The internal fuel tank was removed so that the aircraft could carry 250 lb bombs in its internal bomb bay, plus two 250 or 500 lb (227 kg) bombs carried externally. A further option was to mount extra fuel tanks under the wings instead of bombs, carrying 50, 100, or 200 gallon (227.3, 454.6, or 909.2 litres) of fuel, or eight 25 or 60 lb rockets. The aircraft's cannons and machine guns remained unchanged. The FB Mk VI first saw combat on October 3rd 1943. The aircraft was widely used in the precision strike role against especially important targets. From 1944 on, the FB Mk VI was used by the RAF Coastal Command and saw action over the Bay of Biscay, the North Sea, the English Channel, and over the rivers of France, Belgium, and Germany. The FB Mk VI was the most widely produced of all Mosquito variants during the war; factories managed to produce 2,584 aircraft. All in all, 6,710 Mosquitoes (from all series) were manufactured. According to General Bennett, the only drawback the ‘wooden wonder’ had was that there were never enough of them. After a hugely successful wartime career, the Mosquito continued to serve with several nations well into the 1950s.
