Why This 'Wooden' British Plane Was Faster Than Any German Fighter

A combat aircraft made of wood. In 1940. When everyone else was building metal planes. The British looked at plywood and balsa wood and thought — what if we build a bomber out of this? Everyone laughed. The Air Ministry rejected it. Metal was the future, they said. But the De Havilland Mosquito became the most versatile aircraft of World War Two. It was faster than German fighters. It could outrun anything the Luftwaffe sent after it. It flew so high and so fast that it didn't even need defensive guns. Hitler was so angry about this wooden plane that he had two separate rants about it. Göring said it made him furious that British furniture makers were building aircraft his fighters couldn't catch.
