We talked about the WEA pomp and / or opulence of our buddy "eaters", the Spitfire, seen as the period air of the fighter who covered World War II. We do not dispute that, nor deny history, right? Airmen hunting, from different countries, saved - brilliantly - Britain of a Nazi invasion. And, well, the Spit is one of the names linked to the moment, in fact, heroic. Our post today, however, is on a twin-engine spectacularly built of wood.
The Mosquito was a phenomenal project air British engineer Geoffrey de Havilland (Is it my relative? It has a "" in his name also, notice, lol ...). Here's a suggestion: when you get a chance, be sure to know the life of aviation pioneer, it is worth it. Here is a nice link to your search: http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/research/archive-exhibitions/de-havilland-the-man-and-the-company/captain-sir-geoffrey-de-havilland.aspx.
Regarded as his greatest contribution to military aviation, the Mosquito was undoubtedly one of the most manageable aircraft of the war. Its major features, fly high and briefly, were possible only because of its construction, say, unusual. See, the goal at that time (of war), was to keep the maximum amount of metal. air Therefore, Mosquito parts were made by "Geppettos" of the time. Yes, carpenters and cabinetmakers produced air the pieces of this magnificent airplane obtained from wood in their workshops, then it was "only" Fix the pieces and "paste" them. Oh, before I forget, you ever heard of birch and spruce?
Among the main components air of the future air parts of the Mosquito, these two stood out. If give a google around, you will see that both are genera air of trees and, well, it already tells us a lot, does not it?
Some historians even claim that the wooden airplane air design was more remarkable than the Spitfire, since Havilland project had the reach, height and speed in the hands, or wings (hehe) and could thus make anything in the air. Here is more information about the aircraft: http://www.raf.mod.uk/history/TheMosquito.cfm. The Germans had nothing like that in that period of struggle. Now, do the mental picture and go back in the past with me:
We are in Berlin. It is war. Hermann Göring, head of the Luftwaffe, is about to make a statement. But suddenly, the radio station is attacked by a "wooden mosquito". Tell the way, this was one of the most famous Mosquito attacks during that period is known, so much so that the Göring himself air was obliged to say:
"The British, who can afford aluminum better air than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft que every piano factory over there is building, and They give it a speed Which They have now Increased yet again. What do you make of that? There is nothing the British do not have. They have the Geniuses, and we have the nincompoops. "[Gotta hear this statement as if she were coming out of a sound system full of echo of that time, as we watch the war movies? Yes? Great, you lived the moment air for a few seconds.] :)
In pronouncing: "They have the Geniuses, and we have the nincompoops air (They - the British - have the geniuses and we fools)," air Göring air only attested with even more strongly the genius behind the Mosquito project. England, of course, roared.
The wooden toy airplane was also a reconnaissance aircraft, attack (starred in some of the most challenging attacks of the war) and a night fighter, beyond what we have already commented: an aircraft of reach, height and speed. I could do a split posting in IV parts only praise the Mosquito, but these last words should suffice:
I wanted that Old English was Geoffrey air de Havilland, just to stand beside him ... Very good article, congratulations!
Being wood, the Mosquito had a very low radar signature. By the way, the Germans came with the Ta-154, a kind of "mosquito" them (hehe) and this also in operation, it was difficult to detect by radar. air
Well, all lovers of sa Aviation
