The Royal Air Force raids Oslo, Norway with four de Havilland Mosquitos. The target was the Gestapo headquarters, but the target was missed, and civilian houses were hit instead. One of the Mosquitos, one of the more amazing aircraft of World War Two, was shot down.
Mosquito B, Mark IV, 1942.
The RAF nonetheless claimed the raid as a victory, which in some ways, it was.
The plywood bodied Mosquito was on of the great aircraft of the war, serving both as a light bomber and a twin engined fighter.
