What was the range of the Mosquito compared to the Lancaster?
- jabl 8y agoWikipedia claims the bomber version of the Mosquito had a range of 2400 km with 1800 kg bomb load (good enough for Berlin and back), whereas the Lancaster had a range of 4073 km with an admittedly massive bomb load of 6400 kg. So no, the Mosquito was not a replacement for all missions the Lancaster was capable of, but for many it probably would have been a better choice.
