How many hours to build a DH Mosquito
Can anyone tell me how many hours it took to build a DH Mosquito aircraft in WW2 compared to an Avro Lancaster or HP Halifax. Was the Mosquito longer in construction because of the moulding process for the two halves of the fuselage?

Re: How many hours to build a DH Mosquito
This does not quite answer your question, but does explain how they were built:

Re: How many hours to build a DH Mosquito
In the second column on page one, it states: "The fuselage could be made in a week by six technicians." As glues were changed during the war and glue drying techniques improved I suspect the times for making the various parts changed. The wings, etc. were made separately, often in a different place than the fuselage.
