The de Havilland Mosquito—“Wooden Wonder”—shows how a mostly wooden, gunless bomber became the fastest strike aircraft of WWII.
From ridiculed prototype to record-breaker: twin Merlin power, ultra-smooth wooden skin, and “speed as armor.”
Witness precision raids from the Berlin Express to Operation Jericho, skimming treetops to crack prison walls.
See how a true multirole design—bomber, night-fighter, photo-recon—pulled off missions metal couldn’t.
A cinematic blend of human stakes and clear tech explainers proves why the Mosquito was “not legend—reality.”
