The AMAZING plywood fighter-bomber that staggered the Germans when it outran some of its fighters. Led the British night bombers in the 'pathfinder' role, a very hazardous role indeed. Created in desperation, flown to victory.

Two Spitfire engines, no waiting! Also, if memory serves, the first “stealth” bomber, inadvertently. They discovered it had a rather small radar signature due to the wood construction.

Here is a clip from “633 Squadron” with Mosquitos. Thank you, I remember this movie but these clips are GREAT. The music is great as well!
