Description

With Britain under siege at the beginning of the war, and a vast shortage of metals and skilled labour to work it, inspirational design led to the construction of one of the most remarkable warplanes ever built. Constructed almost entirely of laminated wood, bonded with glue, the complex construction was undertaken by craftsmen hitherto trained in the skill of building furniture! The result was the sensational de Havilland Mosquito. Powered by its two huge Merlin engines, its sleek, sharklike design made it the fastest and most versatile aircraft of the war.
