By: Plane Junkie The de Havilland Mosquito, one of the fastest and most flexible piston-engine aircraft of World War II, was built from the start to rely on speed rather than guns for defense. Even more surprising, the majority of its fuselage and wings were made of balsa and lightweight ply, earning it the nickname "Wooden Wonder." Mosquitos excelled in pathfinder operations and delivering low-level precision strikes like Operation Jericho, a daring low-level attack to break the walls of Amiens jail to free Resistance fighters carried out in February 1944. The operation exemplified the Mosquito crews' expertise, daring, and determination in pursuing Nazis across the Reich and occupied regions. Nobody was safe from Mosquito crews, whether it was in Berlin, Oslo, or Copenhagen. Richard Taylor created his emotional picture, Long Night Ahead, to commemorate this incredible warplane and to pay tribute to the troops who flew Mosquitos during WWII. Richard shows Mosquito FB.VIs from 169 Squadron, located at Great Massingham, flying low over a poppy-strewn meadow in the lee of Ely Cathedral as they prepare for a night-fighter intruder operation just after D-Day in the summer of 1944.
