I do, but my favourite Mosquito film or video it this one:

... shot from the cockpit of a rebuilt/restored FB version. This more than
anything else I've seen gives a feeling of what it is like to fly. I
think that airframe is in America - possibly in the late Paul Allen's
collection.

I do have another aviation-related recommendation, though this one is
100% animation and more magical-realism than actual history:
"The Wind Rises" by Hayao Miyazaki.
