Mosquito vs Heinkel He P.1078C "Wilde Sau" would be a dogfight to witness!

The Mosquito wasn't really a dogfighter, it would have been a case of the Heinkel P1078 Wilde Sau intercepting the Mosquito

These are some of my faves, all from

Messerschmitt "Libelle" single-seat fighter




Gareth Hector's Heinkel He 162D

Other He-162 variants under consideration included the "He-162C", with the B-series fuselage, Heinkel-Hirth 011A engine, swept wing, and "vee" or "butterfly" tail assembly; and the "He-162D", with a similar configuration but a forward-swept wing. They were to me armed with twin MK-108 30 millimeter cannon, and a scheme was considered in which the cannon could be pivoted upward from the horizontal, allowing the fighter to fire at a bomber while flying under it.
(useful in a dogfight with a fighter as well)

The He-162C and He-162D got no farther than a half-completed prototype that could be fitted with interchangeable forward-swept or back-swept wings, discovered by the Allies when they occupied the plant at Schwechat.

The He162 is very impressive because it was so close to production; strong forward swept wings should give much improved turning ability.
