DH.98 Mosquito NF Mk.XV "High-Altitude"

During World War II, the Junkers Ju 86P and R high-altitude reconnaissance and bomber aircraft appeared over Great Britain. Initially, the RAF was unable to intervene until the high-altitude versions of the Spitfire Mk.VII and the modified Spitfire Mk.IX brought about a change. The looming threat of the Luftwaffe deploying more powerful bombers led to the development of a high-altitude fighter version of the Mosquito.
This version featured a pressurized cabin, nose-mounted radar, an extended wing with a 19-meter wingspan, and Merlin 76 high-altitude engines with four-bladed propellers. A small series of the "Fifteens" was produced and assigned to No. 85 Squadron of the RAF for flight testing.
