Since Mosquito bombers weren't armed, they would have had a bit of a problem in shooting anyone down.

hi, thanks.

Sorry about that, it would have been a great story. Perhaps there were fighters in the air, or on high alert, that could have taken on the B-24s. But, it seems to me that the shooting down of several B-24s would have been extensively recorded and reported. And, the B-24 was tough enough not to go down that easily, especially when in a combat formatiion.
