Peter Wykeham-Barnes was a distinguished Royal Air Force officer and ace who flew with No. 23 Squadron during World War II. Operating the de Havilland Mosquito, a versatile twin-engine fighter-bomber, Wykeham-Barnes carried out night-fighter operations over Europe. No. 23 Squadron specialized in intruder missions, targeting German airfields, transport, and infrastructure under the cover of darkness. The Mosquito's speed, agility, and advanced radar made it ideal for these roles. Wykeham-Barnes' leadership and skills as a pilot contributed significantly to the squadron's success, and he later rose to high rank in the RAF, leaving a legacy of valor and innovation in air combat. Designed in a private venture as a high-altitude, high-speed unarmed bomber, the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was first flown on November 25th, 1940. The Mosquito was one of the most successful aircraft of the Second World War. Only the Ju 88 could rival its versatility. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, the all-wood Mosquito was as fast as a fighter and could carry the payload of a medium bomber. During its lifetime, the Mosquito was used in varying roles, which included night fighter and ground attack. It carried radar systems and cannons, and there was even a carrier landing version. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
