DH98 Mosquito History
The DeHavilland DH98 "Mosquito" was a project of the DeHavilland aircraft company, rather than
an aircraft built to a military specification. Known as the "Wooden Wonder", the plane was
built from balsa and plywood, a design concept that was completely revolutionary at a time when
more and more aircraft were being built from stressed-skin aluminum. Equipped with two Merlin engines, it held the world speed record
for 3 years; often flown unarmed, it was capable of out-running anything the Luftwaffe could put in
the sky for much of the war.
