Mossie speed

[Al Schlageter]

It's an interesting debate but i tend to agree that if enough Mossies could be built they would be a far better alternative to the thousands of 4 engined RAF heavies.

No, it would be better than the 1000s of American heavies. Try to imagine the same number, or more, escorted Mossies fanning out over occupied Europe, cruising at half the speed again as the American heavies. The Germans were hard pressed with the American heavies so think how hard pressed they would be with Mossies.
