Got Wood? - The de Havilland Mosquito

0.04 / Feb / 2022•14m

What if there was a plane that the enemy could neither catch nor reach? One that fully relied on speed instead of defensive armaments? The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was the first multi-role aircraft developed during World War Two. Made mostly out of wood, the “Wooden Wonder” could be easily converted into different roles - a fighter, a fighter-bomber, a bomber, and a reconnaissance aircraft.
