The **ABC Mosquito** was a 120 hp (90 kW) six-cylinder radial [aero engine](/source/Aircraft_engine) designed by the noted British engineer [Granville Bradshaw](/source/Granville_Bradshaw) for use in light aircraft. The single Mosquito engine was built by [ABC Motors](/source/ABC_Motors), first running in 1916. It is thought that the design resulted from a bet between [Harry Hawker](/source/Harry_Hawker) and Bradshaw, Hawker proposing that Bradshaw could not build and fly a six-cylinder radial engine. The Mosquito used copper-plated steel [Gnat](/source/ABC_Gnat) cylinders. The engine was not a success.[1]
