Default Re: Mosquito Engine Failures

Well, I have nearly completed my analyses of Pathfinder Mosquitos and will shortly give you a breakdown on cause of loss. In preview I can tell you that a high percentage were crashes on takeoff and landing due to engine failure. Probably more losses due to this cause than enemy action.

Another interesting observation though is the high percentage of NZ pilots involved in the various Squadrons? Did NZ have a particular training program for Mossie pilots?

Any input on that one Martin?
