I always read how versatile the Mossie was in WWII and books will list one of its functions as a fighter. Where there dedicated units that flew them as a superiority fighter in the day or were there just fighter-bomber units that attacked shipping?
They would hve to fulfill the day (or night) fighter role of taking on the best LW fighters in their designed environment - and win to be a true air superiority fighter.
Would the Mossie truly take on a 109G-6 (much less a 190 Dora) or the He 219 and considtently win. I don't know but doubt it.
If you postulate that a Mossie was as good as the P-51 or Spit IV in air to air combat then make your case?
I admit that I could be wrong but I have never heard of that happening.Mosquitos provided daylight escort to Bomber Command Lancasters
Again I could be wrong but only as far as I am aware when on strike missions against convoys, where the Germans would only have long range (Ju88) fighters giving cover. Beaufighters also acted as escorts on these missionsand to Coastal Command Beaufighters.
