DE Havelland Mosquito B.XVI/B.35/TT.35

From 1944, the de Havilland Mosquito B.XVI was delivered to front line

squadrons. Although it was unarmed, the B.XVI could carry a 3,000Ib bomb load.

Not long after the start of B.XVI production, modifications were incorporated on

the production line to allow a 4,000Ib ‘Cookie’ or blockbuster bomb to be

carried internally,

Mosquito operations allowed Bomber Command to keep the pressure on the enemy throughout the latter stages of

WWII.
