In the biological context, a mosquito is a blood-sucking insect that has, for many millennia, inflicted much misery upon humankind, and in the case of the Anopheles (malarial) mosquito, even outright mass death. In the military aviation context, “Mosquito” refers to the de Havilland Mosquito, a sleek, speedy British warplane – made almost entirely of wood – that enabled the Royal Air Force (RAF) to inflict much misery, death, and destruction upon the Axis powers during World War II.
