The Airplane that Struck in an Impossible Place

Hermann Göring, president of the Reichstag and chief of the Luftwaffe high command, mounted the stage above a fanatical crowd of his compatriots at the Air Ministry Building on January 30, 1943.
Göring stood tall at the podium, the weight of his medals pressing against his chest, their gleam sharp and defiant in the morning sun. This was his moment-to restore faith, to reassure the people that Germany’s power remained unshaken despite the tightening grip of defeat.
He inhaled, ready to speak, as the fanfare of Großdeutscher Rundfunk, Germany’s state radio, cut through the air. The crowd leaned in, breaths held in anticipation.
Then came the sound-distant at first but growing with terrifying speed. A deep, thunderous drone froze the blood in Göring's veins. His eyes shot wide, hand gripping the podium. At that moment, he knew: for the first time in the war, enemy aircraft were on their way to Berlin…

[@hammondpickle]

My grandfather was a navigator in a Mosquito squadron in the late war. Like many of his generation international travel post-war wasn't really a thing. We asked him if he'd ever been abroad. He said he'd been to Kiel once but it was dark.

​@@hammondpickle Then there's the time a B.O.A.C. captain went down the wrong taxiway at Frankfurt International. The tower, very angrily, shouted over the radio "Haven't you ever been to Frankfurt before?" The British pilot, sounding very chirpy & very RP, said "Only once old chap, but we didn't stop." 🤣

[@cdjhyoung]

My father flew B24's for the Eight Air Force. He was offered his choice of flying assignments, and he requested a chance to fly one of the Mossies that shared his air base. So a Brit pilot gave him a courtesy flight that started, and ended, when the pilot barrel rolled the Mosquito after barely leaving the ground. My dad had seen enough and declined the transfer. He had described flying a B24 to me as being like flying a dump truck. The Mosquito was nothing like it, and way beyond what he wanted to try to handle.

[@grahamstubbs4962]

Shame he didn't press on with it. That's a Maserati. You get very few chances to fly that sort of kit.

[@cdjhyoung]

@@grahamstubbs4962 This was war time, not play time. There is a definite character difference between a good bomber pilot and a good fighter pilot. My father's character made him most valuable as a bomber pilot. He was a quiet leader, one of those guys that say little, but when he does, everyone important listens. He wasn't as much of a hot rod in the fighter seat as he had thought he was. He made the right choice. Him and his crew flew their missions, no one earned a Purple Heart and they all got home.

[@francishruszka877]

God Bless​!

[@alanjm1234]

​@@cdjhyoungfair enough, but Mosquitoes were just about the safest bomber to be in. They could fly higher than flak could reach and outrun most fighters.

[@andrewstoakes8034]

The mosquito could bite a pilot in the arse if they weren't ready for the engines to lose power in inverted turns, too many pilots found out the hard way, including one beautiful restored historic aircraft.

[@brettpeacock9116]

This raid was NOT the first raid on Berlin, just the first at Low Level, in Daylight. The RAF bombed Berlin during the Battle of Britain in 1940, in retaliation for the Beginning of the Blitz on London, and had revisited the city several times since - All at night and all at High level. BTW, the Mosquito B Mk IV (4) - Bomber Mark IV - was unarmed apart from the bombload. No guns. because the Bombaimer sat in a clear plexiglass nose cone. The FB MK VI (FighterBomber Mark 6) was armed with 4 .303 MGs and 4x Hispano 20mm cannon, but could only carry 1/2 the bombload of the Mark IV. Both were in service at this time, the BMkIV being largely superceded by early 1945 by later, faster & more powerful Bomber versions like th B MKL IX and B Mk XVI The FBVI served right through into the post war RAF and other nations (like Australia & New Zealand.) It was too versatile to replace unrtil the advent of better jet aircraft.

[@marcbolland6992]

Exactly what I was going to comment, glad I took the time to read previous comments. Hitler's big mistake, 1 more day of attacks on RAF Airfields and Germany would have won the Battle of Britain but he switched to mass bombardment of London and the rest, as they say, is history. ps. good video!!

[@nicktamer4969]

You are wrong. The first allied raid on Berlin was made by french air force on june 7th 1940.

[@Killerplanes]

We got to see a Mosquito flying at the Carpiquet Airport in Caen during the 50th Anniversary of D-Day airshow in 1994. What a thrill for a lifelong WWII HOTROD freak!! Even with the Mossie, it was difficult to pick a favorite that day! We had no idea the airshow was happening (the weekend after June 6) until we saw a billboard outside Caen advertising it while driving north toward the beaches. It was 1PM, and I said to Denise, “I guess we missed that- what a bummer!!” She opened her mouth to reply, and was drowned out by THREE Mustangs ROARING from left to right about 150 feet over our car, in line one after the other, and soaring up to the right. She shouted “I don’t think so!” as I made a U-turn to go back to the airport. We ended up watching the entire show (which had just started with the 3 Mustangs) standing in the exuberant crowd lining the right side of the runway, eating French pastry. A day I will NEVER forget! (We’re going to post video of that day pretty soon, on the KillerPlanes channel- keep a lookout!)

[@mred8002]

Plywood and fabric construction. Amazing machines.

[@douglasspencer745]

They didn’t use fabric on the Mosquito; it was constructed with a variety of wood: Alaskan Spruce, English Ash, Canadian birch and fir, Ecuadorian balsa, yellow birch, paper birch, Walnut and Douglas fir. Plywood with a Balsa wood core.

[@mred8002]

@ Wow, even more impressive getting the needed shapes right and still be lightweight. I tried warping plywood once, but failed utterly.

[@RTilse]

I heard they used fish glue in one source and urea formaldehyde in another. Until then, the laminations wouldn't hold together, and that moisture would cause them to come apart. I think the Germans tried, but didn't have the right glue. Anyone know more more about that?

[@kbjerke]

[@vaughanhill6933]

A nice video of a very famous RAF raid on Berlin. But the inclusion at 4:52, 12:24 and 12:46 of a captured Me 410 in allied markings is amusing. I believe this is the same Hornisse that is displayed at the RAF museum in Cosford.

This helped win the Battle of Britain. The Germans had the British on the brink in the battle by attacking their airfields. But Hitler gave strict orders Not to bomb London, however. Bet a German bomber got lost over London and dropped it's bombs. The British retaliated by bombing Berlin. The Germans switched to bombing British cities, instead of airbases. Bad for English civilians, but it stopped Germany from gaining air superiority over English skies, therefore preventing the German invasion of the British Isles over the Channel.

My favourite story about Goering is of a time when, prior to Operation Barbarossa, he was entertaining the Soviet ambassador at the opera in Berlin. During the performance there was an air raid and everyone had to go down into the shelter. While they were there Goering regaled the ambassador with stories of how the RAF was completely defeated and under control. The ambassador, who despite being a Communist was no fool, replied "If the RAF are no threat what are we doing down here?" (Source: "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich")

Mosquito was also flown by US Army Air Corps in photo recon role but as unarmed variant had to be escorted by a pair of Mustangs as the USAAC would not allow unarmed aircraft to fly in harms way.

Includes a lot of shots of a Me210/Me410 in RAF colours!! I presume this is the post war evaluation that included Eric "Winkle" Brown - the person that still holds the record for the most aircraft type flown..... “No enemy bomber can reach the Ruhr,” Göring assured them. “If one reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Göring. You can call me Meyer.”

So many survived the perils of war on;y to be killed in unnecessary accidents afterwards.

It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again'.
