de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito

When De Havilland began Mosquito production in 1941, it was one of the fastest operational aircraft in the world. Constructed almost entirely of wood, “The Wooden Wonder” entered widespread service in 1942 as a high-speed bomber. It was highly versatile fulfilling roles including low to medium-altitude daytime tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike aircraft, and fast photo-reconnaissance aircraft.
