Yes, large fingers, B-29. Also the B-32.

No the Mossie always carried its full load.

The reason we didn't see great fleets of Mosquitos doing the job of planes like the B17 was that it couldn't do the job required as efficiently.
No it was because the Bomber Barons couldn't see past their noses.

How many bombs land on the target if the B-17 is shot down? At least with 3 Mossies carrying the same load, some bombs would land on the target even if 1 or 2 were shot down.
