DH.98 Mosquito

The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was a versatile British aircraft used during World War II, notable for its wooden construction, which made it lighter and more agile. It served as a fast bomber, reconnaissance plane, and night fighter, thanks to its speed and adaptability. Unlike typical metal aircraft, its wooden frame helped it evade radar detection and reduced manufacturing costs. The Mosquito was prized for its high speed, ability to carry significant payloads, and its role in precision attacks and intelligence missions, making it one of the most innovative and effective aircraft of its time.
