Seems to work fine for every major nation that does it: US, Britain, France etc. They all seem to have several planes rather than just one.

But just because the Mosquito could do all these wonderful things, doesn't mean that it was good at all of them. That's why planes should only have 2-3 jobs. That's why I like the Yak-3, is because it could do 2-3 things, but it was only really good at the most important thing: Dogfighting.
