[@calumdeighton]

The other thing about a wooden plane is. When a bullet hits it, the wood is not going to warp like a metal. And the wood being cheap. It's easy to replace damaged sections of the aircraft. Small point on the video. Mosquito pilots frequently flew at 50ft. Not 100ft. Also the aircraft served as Pathfinders for the Bombers during night raids. They'd take off after the bomber, because they were that fast, and drop flares on the target area letting the Lancasters drop their payloads more accurately. An amazing aircraft. Truly is.

[@ChicagoReacts]

Thanks for the clarification!

[@Myomer104]

1) Also, to my memory, the Mosquito's skin was made of fabric, like the old WWI biplanes, which further helped survivability by ensuring that there was far too little material to arm cannon shells. 2) I think that the "100 feet" was referring to just Operation Jericho.

My Dad was a professor of Materials Science (on the border between Physics and Chemistry but it gets its own department in the School of Mines of Imperial College), and he told this story once about asking an older colleague what he thought could be developed in artificial materials, and the reply was "if we're very lucky and very successful, one day we might be able to come up with something nearly as useful as wood." The wood in question was Balsa, the same stuff you used to make flyable model airplanes out of. Three layers of balsa for the Mosquito's structure, then two layers of birch plywood for a firm skin. They were also used as Pathfinders for the big carpet-bombing raids, because they found that the standard of navigation skills in the heavy bomber crews were so low that the only way to make sure they hit the right part of a city at night was to put the best navigators in the RAF in Mosquitos and have them fly ahead and show the target area by dropping coloured incendiaries.

Not my family member, but a friend of mine apparently had a great grandfather who got caught behind enemy lines after being encircled, and before getting captured he took a "morning dump" in a tank that was left unaccompanied.

The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again.

I fell in love with the Mossie as a kid watching the movie "633 Squadron" - great theme too. He did mentioned Operation Jericho but did not explain it - Feb 44 - a low level prison break on Amiens prison. Blow the walls and German barracks. Freeing the many resistance prisoners, most due for execution were the aim - the 832 prisoners in total, 102 were killed by the bombing, 74 were wounded and 258 escaped, including 79 Resistance members and political prisoners.- although many recaptured. Think fears about d-day info gathering by resistance was a part of what prompted the raid. Amazingly, it was filmed! There was also the "Tsetse" mosquito (big sting) carrying a QF 6-pounder (57 mm) anti-tank gun fitted with an auto-loader to allow both semi- or fully automatic fire - successful U-Boat killer! Beautiful plane.

However it's main use and main design idea was I shit you not... It HUNTED German Uboats. It would spot one on the surface, dive and fire rounds into the hull. These would easily pen the top hull... So now the sub can't submerge... And the mossie called a destroyer to hunt you down. In other words. You fucked.
