So you would rather spend one hell of alot of money designing many new planes, then buying them- instead of just develpoing existing ones for alot cheaper and just as effactive. then when it is designed you can convery existing planes instead of having to waste money on buildin new ones

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.

The US wanted the Mosquito, but by the time they got round to putting it into production the war was over.

Well, that's the point. The Mosquito was good at everything it was used for. Even though it was designed as a light bomber. Just don't expect it to be a brilliant dogfighter too. The Yak-3 was certainly a good fighter, but that was the only thing it could do.
