The De Havilland Mosquito was known as the “Wooden Wonder”. Brilliant engineering allowed the sub-assemblies to be parsed out to wood working shops, which were under utilized in wartime production and metal workers were stressed to the max.
Youtube has a fascinating video on the history and making of the speedy Mosquito. Well worth the effort.

The Mosquito is my all time favorite warbird.
Outstanding performance, incredibly versatile, and just lovely to look at from all angles.
