SBD Dauntless versus house. The tiled roof, ocean and hills in the back makes me think this is in the San Diego area.

It was posted on FB by Vintage Wings of Canada and yes it's a Mosquito. Labelled as late 1944.

I was watching recently recovered films of the VE Day celebrations and I was struck by how few British servicemen were present. Most young uniformed men were American.
