The Mosquito was a WW2, twin-engine aircraft built by DeHaviland. It was very light as it was made of wood and fabric but looked like a modern aircraft. It was used as a recon aircraft and could drop a few bombs. It was faster than most German fighters and could out run them.

Is the word mosquito of Spanish origin?

Mosquito comes ultimately from the Latin word for 'fly', musca (this went back to an Indo-European base *mu-, probably imitative of the sound of humming, which also produced English midge (OE), and hence its derivative midget(19th c.) -- originally a 'tiny sand-fly'). Musca became Spanish mosca, whose diminutive form reached English as mosquito -- etymologically a 'small fly'. (The Italian descendant of musca, incidentally, is also mosca, and its diminutive, moschetto, was applied with black humour to the 'bolt of a crossbow'. From it English gets musket (16th c.).).See also midge, midget, musket
