A couple cool also important facts about Mosquito's;
When built, they were one of the fastest operational aircrafts in the world.
The main frames also wings were constructed mostly of wood!

Pete.. I thought they were ALL wood, marine plywood, I think. They were built in Toronto, most of them, if my memory is correct.
I worked next door on the same street as DeHavilland, the original building was almost lost in the Sunrise propane explosion, luckily the it only blew out the windows.

I think you're right but word 'mostly' usually used w/ descriptions so more facts necessary to clarify.
Our family friend was a RCAF Mosquito Pilot so his stories what got me interested in them also other WW2 Aircraft at a young age.
One cool thing he told us was the Wooden Mosquito Wings were built at Kaufman's Furniture Factory in Collingwood then shipped to the DeHavilland factory in Downsview for assembly.
