De Havilland DH-98B Mosquito Mk.35 (N35MK)

            When Geoffrey de Havilland proposed a medium bomber built of plywood, the RAF would not even consider the aircraft.  Undeterred, de Havilland went ahead and built a prototype, which convinced the RAF to give the plane a try.  What emerged was an aircraft that was as admired by the Allies as it was hated by the Nazis, one of the effective and versatile (and beautiful) planes of World War II.  This example, being built in 1946, still served the British.  Words cannot describe my joy of seeing an example of the Mossie in person for the first time.  In the background, also powered by the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin, is a Spitfire.
