The Mosquito Plane and Its Famous Craftsmanship
The British Information Service describes the Mosquito as a wooden aircraft with no metal except landing gear and engines. Built of wood bonded with plastic, its two halves form the fuselage and major repairs can be done by a competent carpenter. It carries 2,000 pounds of bombs, has long range, and boosts speed enough to outpace many fighters. It has been used as a night intruder and train-buster, and can outrun a heavy bomber even with one motor out. The moon orbits the earth at 2,300 miles per hour.
