This 15-minute documentary describes the conception and making of the legendary wooden-frame WWII British fighter/bomber.
The de Havilland Mosquito was a British combat aircraft that excelled in versatility during the Second World War. It was known affectionately as the “Mossie” to its crews and was also nicknamed “The Wooden Wonder” or “The Timber Terror” as the bulk of the aircraft was made of laminated plywood. It saw service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and many other air forces in the European theatre, the Pacific theatre of Operations and the Mediterranean Theatre, as well as during the postwar period.
