Nicknamed the 'Wooden Wonder' because the airframe was mostly constructed of wood, the Mosquito was still one of the fastest aircraft flying in 1941. To keep away from German air raids, over 1,000 Mosquitos were also built in Canada during the war. And half of the birch wood used in English production came from British Columbia, Canada.
