I have a few books on the "Mossie" the damage they could sustain and still get back I think in one pic the starboard wing is shorn off to within a couple of feet from the engine nacelle and the plane still made it back of course it had 2 beautiful merlins to pull it around the sky.

The Germanicon night fighters hated the "Mossie" when they were inserted into the bomber streams it would act like a bomber flying straight and level the NF would close in for the kill only to have the "Mossie get behind it and shoot the NF down.
The germans had a wooden aircraft made up almost a carbon copy of the Mosquito having air tests when bomber command did themselves a favour and bombed the factory that made the glue Tigofilm (Tee-go-film) wiping out the place and all the records and formulas to make the glue and that was the end of that chapter for the Germans.
If you thought the P-38 packed a punch the weapons package in one instance on the Mosquito could have 4 x 303 brownings in the nose and in the belly 4 x 20mm Hispano cannons selectively fired or all together I have a night shot with all 8 going its not the lead storm I would want to be on the receiving end of.

When it was presented to the airministry they did not want it a wooden aircraft and it was a near thing that it ever got accepted but it did and the rest is history
