Truly an example of engineering ingenuity born out of the desperation of war, the legendary \'all-wooden\' Mosquito was perhaps the best twin-engined fighter-bomber of its size to see action in World War II (1939-1945).
Considerably faster than the unit\'s previous Blenheim Mk IVs, powered by inline rather than radial engines, and made of wood instead of metal alloy, the Mosquito initially proved a challenging mount for both air and groundcrew alike..
The first bomber variant to enter service was the B Mk IV, initial examples of which were issued to No 2 Group\'s No 105 Sqn at Swanton Morley, in Norfolk, in November 1941.
