My guess are Brewster Buffalos?

I don't have a copy of the film to refer to (refuse to buy the edited-down US version), but in the vast majority of "war" films, they tend to use painted-up AT-6 Texans (Harvard when in British use). I guess I'll have to go & rent the movie now to find out.

bombing scene of Das boot... use full screen for best results

good view of the T-6 at 2:02

good view of Mosquito bomber stock footage at 2:19 (though the DVD version is much clearer)

I don't remember seeing skeeters on the original cut version.
But definetely there were T-6s on the attack of the base.

I've noticed a number of things in the movie which were done to satisfy political correctness.

On this type of film one has to give a bit of slack to producer and director.

I've seen it on TV in
France , and that was the best version. All in all, I've seen it like seven times.
