	DH Mosquito \| D.H.98 de Havilland Mosquito
		de Havilland chose a radical construction technique initially developed for their earlier Comet racer - by utilising a laminated ply and balsa skin formed in concrete moulds by civilian craftsmen, the Mosquito was extremely strong, light, and flexible, yet placed minimal drain on esential materials and skilled-labour during Britains 'darkest hour' in 1940 - 1941.
		Mosquitos were widely used by the RAF Pathfinder Force to mark targets for night-time strategic bombing, and Mosquito bombers hauled a 4,000 lb (1,800 kg) "block-buster" bomb in their internal bomb bay to Berlin at a comparitively fractional cost when compared to the contemporary B-17 or Lancaster running costs and operational-losses.
		DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO B.IV The B.IV had a glass nose for a bombardier and although designed to carry four 112 kilogram (250 pound) bombs, this was ingeniously increased to four 225 kilogram (500 pound) bombs before Series I aircraft reached operational units in 1941.

	De Havilland Mosquito - Great Britain
		The basic fighter Mosquito introduced into squadron service in 1942 was the N.F.Mk.II, equipped primarily as a night-fighter and used for home defense alongside the Bristol Beaufighter.
		It had been discovered that the Mosquito was able to accommodate a much greater warload than that for which it had been designed, and thus the Mark VI, with a strengthened wing for external loads which later became known as the "basic" wing, carried a full complement of cannon and machine-guns, two 500 lb.
		Of the Mosquitos built in Canada, the F.B.26 was one of the chief variants, the design of which was based upon that of the F.B.VI.

		A Mosquito B Mk.IV The de Havilland Mosquito was one of the most successful aircraft of the Second World War.
		The de Havilland design team lead by R.E. Bishop, R.M. Clarkson and C.T. Wilkins proposed the design of a twin-engined bomber, able to carry 1000 pounds (454kg) of bombs over 2400km, and able to reach a speed of 655km/h.
		Also, de Havilland proposed a wooden construction, which is generally heavier than a metal one, but could be given a very smooth finish.

	Mosquito, de Havilland
		The Mosquito was conceived as a fast day bomber that could outrun all contemporary fighters and hence dispensed with defensive armament; however, owing to its speed, agility and its exceptional durability due to its wooden design, it was also used as a fighter.
		It was changed to a formaldehyde-based preparation when the Mosquito was introduced to fighting in semi-tropical and tropical climates, after some unexplained crashes led to the suspicion that the glue was unable to withstand the climate.
		De Havilland also developed a technique to accelerate the glue drying by heating it using radio waves.

	De Havilland Mosquito
		De Havilland claimed that instead of turrets, their proposed aircraft would rely on its speed and agility to avoid being intercepted by enemy fighters, but the doubtful air ministry totally rejected this bold idea.
		De Havilland with Air Marshal Freeman of the Air Council, finally changed the Mosquito's fate, and prototype construction was authorized.
		They became enthusiast advocates of the Mosquito as a bomber, but the British Bomber Command and air ministry remained locked with their beliefs and thought that the Mosquito can only be used in small numbers as a day bomber.

		The de Havilland company conceived the idea of a wooden aircraft to take advantage of the underused resources and skills of the furniture industry at a time of great pressure on the conventional aircraft industry, and shortages of steel and aluminium.
		De Havilland also developed a technique to accelerate the glue drying by heating it using microwaves.
		The last Mosquito known to be airworthy (serial number RR299), a T Mk III built sometime between October 1944 and July 1945, crashed on 21 July, 1996 with the loss of both crew after stalling during a banked turn at an airshow at the Barton Aerodrome near Barton, Greater Manchester.

		De Havilland finally won a contract to build a prototype five months after Hitler invaded Poland but the Air Ministry, and many people in the British aircraft industry, remained skeptical right up until March 3, 1941.
		De Havilland engineers and technicians used generally the same techniques to build the Comet, Albatross, and Mosquito wings out of wood and plywood.
		The 12ft 5in (3.8 m) gun was mounted at a slightly downward angle and protruding 2 feet (600mm) from the nose.

		After much official delay, de Havilland built seven of these four-engine airliners and Imperial Airways bought five and began to fly them on scheduled routes in December 1938.
		With every act of terror, Geoffrey de Havilland (founder and head of the firm) and his design staff became more convinced that they could create an exceptional warplane based on the Comet and Albatross.
		In 1943, Mosquitoes built at the Hatfield factory began "piling up waiting for their test flight which de Havilland was unable to perform quickly enough.

		The Mosquito was a remarkable aircraft for its time; not only was it made largely of wood but it was designed as an unarmed bomber, depending on its superior speed to escape enemy fighters.
		The war had ended before it could be used operationally, but it entered service with the post-war Royal Air Force and served as a bomber until the beginning of 1954.
		Some Mosquito B35s were converted for other duties including target-towing and in this role they continued in service until 1963.

		This concept was regarded as an aberration by the authorities, but the performance of the Mosquito silenced the critics.
		Mosquitos were also used as high-speed transports by British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) to maintain communication with neutral Sweden and bring back strategic items such as ball-bearings.
		Because of the glued-and-screwed wooden construction, early Mosquitoes were not suited to the tropics where exposure to high humidity and rain caused the airframe to warp and the glue to dissolve.

	De Havilland Mosquito - by Edward Shacklady
		The de Havilland Mosquito was the non-conformist among aircraft of World War II as its ingenious wooden construction was revolutionary.
		Like most of the world’s greatest combat aircraft, the Mosquito owed nothing to official sponsorship and its appearance relied totally on the dogged perseverance of its designers, Geoffrey de Havilland and C C Walker.
		Its versatility made it unique and the Mosquito was successful in such varied roles as a high and low-level day and night fighter, long-range day and night-fighter, fighter-bomber, minelayer, pathfinder, rocket-armed ground attack and high and low-level photo-reconnaissance aircraft.

		The de Havilland "Mosquito" made of wood was designed based on "high-speed bomber shaking off fighter".
		However the Mosquito made a maiden flight with the maximum speed of 630km when the "Spitfire" had the maximum speed of 580km at those time.
		The Mosquito's wooden structure was strong against being shot, therefore it held an established position from the pilots with the special mission.
