IT GAINED THE nickname Wooden Wonder

for its extensive use of formed plywood, and its phenomenal speed. Some variants were unarmed — they could outrun their adversaries. The d e Hav i l l a n d Mosquito earned a respected place in the history of World War II aviation. But the wood that made it light and fast was never meant for the ages. Mosquitoes slipped out of military service after the war as jets took over for speed and altitude. A few found work in the civilian world, but their numbers dwindled.
