Quick history of the Mosquito FB Mk.VI/NF

The De Havilland Mosquito earned its nickname "Wooden Wonder" from an innovative wooden airframe that combined light weight with structural strength. Designed in the late 1930s, the aircraft used two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines to deliver impressive speed and climb, letting it perform fast strike and reconnaissance missions that many heavier bombers could not.

Early skepticism over the wooden construction faded as the Mosquito proved versatile in many roles. The Fighting Bomber Mk. VI carried bombs and rockets for ground attack, while night-fighter variants added radar and armament for interception work. These versions underline the Mosquito's adaptability across theatres and mission types.
