De Havilland Mosquito: The wooden fighter-bomber that could do it all


Interesting info on the DeHavilland Mosquito.

It had same bomb capacity as the B-17. It was hard to detect on radar, it was made of wood.

Yellow birch was used extensively in their construction.

Jeffery De Havilland was a true Aviation Visionary. Most of the Mosquito's development was on his dime.
