Essentially Chiron, the Mosquito and Lancaster worked 'hand-in-glove' in Bomber Command, the Mosquitos did PR/ Met. work, the weather-forecasting prior to night raids, they did the Pathfinding and Target-marking, and their Best Role was as the Nightfighter's Nightfighter...they were superb at that.....the Light Night Strike Force [LNSF] Mosquitos flew in groups to both either 'select' targets, or created 'spoof' or dummy attacks, to draw the German Nightfighters off the Main Force of Bomber Command.....
They were very hardy for a wooden aircraft, and fast and manoevrable, and became essential to all the work the Lancasters, Halifaxes, Stirlings and Wellingtons did, of Bomber Command....
