The de Havilland Mosquito - built of wood, crewed by two, carrying no guns - recorded the lowest loss rate of any aircraft in RAF Bomber Command during World War II.
On the night of May 16–17, 1943, 617 Squadron's Lancaster bombers flew at 60 feet to breach the Ruhr Valley's dams using Barnes Wallis's revolutionary bouncing bomb.
The de Havilland Mosquito was a wooden WWII aircraft that outran fighters, carried bomber payloads, and became the most versatile combat plane of the war.
