Mossie=best plane of WW2 becasue of its speed and versitility

Its good, and it will give most mid and even some late war fighters a challenge just catching it, but when you can have a Bf109 with 50mph more top speed than a Mosquito the catching bit is considerably less of a problem.

Not that I want to detract from its WWII record, and its huge versatility and success in the fighter-bomber, bomber, night fighter and shipping strike roles, but against a faster single engined fighter the Mosquito just can't cut it.
