Hi All,
Anyone know the date a mosquito first arrived in the USA.
It would also be of interest to me if anyone knew which serials and which bases they were at.
presumably they flew from the UK or were they canadian production ?
or any leads to web links, books etc.
Many thanks if anyone can put me on the trail…
cheers
Jerry
just a random ?

Hello Jerry
As far as I can find the first Mosquito to fly in the US was the first Canadian built example, KB300 a B.VII Bomber that first flew on 24th September 1942 at Downsview and this aircraft was demonstrated at Wright Field on the 29th of October 1942.
This is according to the FABER book, ‘Mosquito’, Authors C. Martin Sharp and Michael J.F.Bowyer, ISBN 0 571 04750 5 for the hard back or ISBN 0 571 09531 3 for the soft back.
