Video Description

In 1938, when de Havilland proposed an unarmed bomber made almost entirely of wood, many were skeptical. But the Mosquito would go on to become one of the most versatile and effective aircraft of the Second World War. Outpacing even the Spitfire on its test flight, the Mosquito was quickly pushed into mass production. It proved itself in countless missions—striking the Luftwaffe by day and evading the Nachtjagd by night. Fast, agile, and deadly, the Mosquito earned its place in aviation history as the RAF’s “wooden wonder.” #warplanes #royalairforce #ww2aircraft
