What the 1949 film Twelve O’Clock High still tells...
The Mosquito could only carry half of the bombs of a B-17 and had almost half the range.

Well, wikipedia claims the bomber version of the Mosquito had a range of 2400 km with 1800 kg bomb load (good enough for Berlin and back), and B-17G 3200 km range with 2700 kg bomb load. So 3/4th the range and 2/3rd the bomb load.
