De Havilland Mosquito B.XVI at bombing

Album info

The photo is a print of a real aerial photo of test stand VIII Peenemünde Army Research Institute.
It was created after the RAF's massive bombing raid on August 17, 1943 (Operation Hydra with 596 aircrafts involved).
Unfortunately, the operation did not achieve its full effect and so there was only a delay of around four weeks for the A4 (V2) project.
That's why there were repeated attacks on the facility and identified positions and facilities on or for the A4. As far as I know, mosquitoes were also used for this.
I don't know whether the machine I built ever flew such a mission against the A4 (V2) project. For me it was more about the symbolism. The Mosquito - a nemesis for the Third Reich and its air force in the Second World War, repeatedly attacked important nodes of the German war machine through quick attacks. Here my case symbolizes the A4 (V2) terror of the Third Reich against England.
