          Great video. The first mosquito's built didn't initially have defensive weapons since nothing at the time could touch them.The crews were a little nervous about this so the design was changed to include some guns.

                      What a tremendous airplane and a triumph of engineering and "out of the box" thinking. I've read they could absorb more damage than an all-metal airplane due to the thicker cross section (yet lighter weight) of the structural members.

                          Dang! Here I am in my planning period (1st day of school, so nothing to plan yet) and I discover my district has firewalled YouTube.
