This one goes out to Yevgeny and friends.
that's my favorite aircraft from ww2. the De Havilland mosquito. multi-role fighter/bomber. top speed 400+ mph. built from plywood to save on steel for the war effort. two rolls-royce Merlin engines. the same engine used in the Spitfire and ultimately, in the P-51 Mustang.
armed with 4 30 cal machine guns and 4 20mm cannon. bomb payload of 4000 lbs. one version was equipped with radar and was used as a nighttime intercepter. terrified the luftwaffe.
