The Mosquito was also capable of taking off on 1 engine with a full payload , as long as it had reached flying speed . Could the JU88 do this?
I have also read accounts of Pilots who have stated that the Mossie having 2 Engines , was an absolute waste of Rolls Royce Merlins , as it apparently flew just as well on 1 engine .
And in 1941 when the Mossie was still under development , a USAF General was treated to an Aerobatic Display by Geoffory de Haviland , and apparently he was doing this all on 1 Engine , and a book I read called "The Wooden Wonder" , stated that all this was being done at nearly 400mph .
