There was a vg doc in the UK which argued the Mosquito was the best UK plane of WW2, as its design was so simple but brilliant, and it was incredibly multipurpose.

I'd have to say I agree to a point. The Mosquito, aka “The Wooden Wonder’’ was a damn fine aircraft. Scared the pants off old Hermann Goering. Other than it's engines and a few other parts the Mosquito was made entirely of wood. It was the forerunner of stealth because it could fly about fifty feet off the ground and it's wooden construction was invisible to radar.In a dive it could reach speeds of over 400 mph. Pound for pound though the P-51 Mustang was the tops.
