de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito WW2 FIGHTER BOMBER Duo (Freewing Electric RC)

Описание: de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito WW2 FIGHTER BOMBER Duo (Freewing Electric RC)
Rare to see a model of a Mosquito flying but a joy to see 2 flown at the same time. Not easy to keep in reasonable formation when flying RC models but these guys did a great job. Sadly the Freewing Mosquito is not made or sold any more.

When the Mosquito entered production in 1941, it was one of the fastest operational aircraft in the world. Entering widespread service in 1942, the Mosquito supported RAF strategic night fighter defence forces in the United Kingdom from Luftwaffe raids, most notably defeating the German aerial offensive Operation Steinbock in 1944. Offensively, the Mosquito units also conducted nighttime fighter sweeps in indirect and direct protection of RAF Bomber Command's heavy bombers to help reduce RAF bomber losses in 1944 and 1945. The Mosquito increased German night fighter losses to such an extent the Germans were said to have awarded two victories for shooting one down. As a bomber, it took part in "special raids", such as pinpoint attacks on prisoner-of-war camps (to aid escapes), Gestapo or German intelligence and security force bases, as well as tactical strikes in support of the British Army in the Normandy Campaign. Some Mosquitos also saw action in RAF Coastal Command during the Battle of the Atlantic, attacking Kriegsmarine U-Boat and transport ship concentrations, particularly in the Bay of Biscay offensive in 1943 in which significant numbers of U-boats were sunk or damaged.
