In 1938, de Havilland's idea for a wooden, unarmed bomber was doubted. Yet the Mosquito became one of WWII's most versatile aircraft. Outpacing the Spitfire on its test flight, it entered mass production, striking the Luftwaffe by day and evading night fighters after dark. Fast, agile, and deadly, the RAF's "wooden wonder" secured an enduring place in aviation history.
