Historical Context
The de Havilland Mosquito, fondly known as 'The Wooden Wonder,' emerged during WWII as a versatile aircraft, initially envisioned as a fast, unarmed bomber. Its unique design, primarily made from wood to expedite production, allowed it to take on multiple roles—bomber, fighter, and reconnaissance. Serving extensively from 1941 onwards, it participated in notable operations, including raids over continental Europe. Its stealthy speed and payload capacity, such as 500lb bombs, ensured it became a formidable asset in the Allies' arsenal. The inclusion of radar systems in its variants further showcased its evolution in combat capabilities.
