*The Armee de l'Air obtained a number of Mosquito
*FB VIs immediately following the Second World War
*and quickly deployed them to Indochina to help
*bolster air power in the region.  While the Mosquito
*was not poorly suited to the demands of
*counter-insurgency in theory, its largely wooden
*construction made it physically unsuitable to the
*climate of Indochina where the fuselages literally
*rotted and also fell victim to insect damage.
*As a result the FB VIs were quickly removed from
*service in the region.
