warbird aircraft for sale

Warbird Aircraft For Sale - The De Havilland Mosquito was one of the most feared Allied aircraft of the Second World War, and certainly one of the fastest - despite its incredible multirole capabilities, it was almost never built because it was planned to be built mainly from wood.

Aluminum alloy construction has almost completely replaced wood and wood/fabric designs - especially for high performance aircraft. Despite this, Geoffrey de Havilland realized that wooden aircraft were strong and would use very little aluminum in their construction - a strictly controlled wartime material.

Geoffrey de Havilland, founder of the de Havilland Aircraft Company, was one of the most important aircraft designers and aerospace engineers of his time. He designed both the Mosquito, considered one of the most versatile fighter aircraft ever built, and he developed the Comet - the first jet aircraft to go into production.

In the 1930s, before World War II broke out in Europe and then around the world, de Havilland and his engineering team designed the DH.88 Comet Racer and the DH.91 Albatross. Both aircraft used wood-frame construction to create a thick, strong and light monocoque fuselage and wing.

In 1936, as the signs of impending war became clearer, the British Air Ministry issued Specification P.13/36 for a design for a twin-engine medium bomber capable of a speed of 275 miles per hour and carrying up to 8,000 lb (3,600 kg) of bombs.

Several aircraft manufacturers put forward designs, including Handley Page, Avro Aircraft Company, and De Havilland Aircraft Company. Of all the designs submitted, the de Havilland aircraft was unique in that it used a laminated wood monocoque structure instead of aluminum ribs and skin.

There was much push for de Havilland's unusual design, despite the fact that he had successfully built previous aircraft using the same technique. A powerful de Havilland ally was Air Force Chief Sir Wilfrid Freeman, who repeatedly and repeatedly prevented the design from being scrapped.

This is Captain Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, seen here working on modifications to the Mosquito design. Note the pattern behind and above the de Havilland Albatross, this is an earlier de Havilland design that used a monocoque laminated wood structure design.

In 1940 the RAF placed an order for 50 Mosquitoes, and when the first aircraft were delivered in 1941 the Mosquito was one of the fastest operating aircraft in the skies anywhere in the world.

"We believe we can build a twin-engine bomber that will perform very well and require very little protection." - Geoffrey de Havilland

During the war, the Mosquito would fill a number of prominent roles, it was used as a precision bomber in an attack on the Gestapo headquarters, and on the 10th anniversary of Hitler's rise to power, a Mosquito bomb attack destroyed Berlin. When Hermann Göring was speaking, the radio station took his speech off the air, causing great embarrassment to the Nazis.

This 1944 de Havilland Mosquito is currently being restored to full working order by the team at Avspec in Auckland, New Zealand.

There are only a few companies left in the world that can carry out the work required to bring mosquitoes back to life, and the plane you see here has been built with all-new lacquered woodwork - a unique job in itself.

The twin Rolls-Royce Merlin 25 V12 aero engines will be rebuilt vintage V-12s, and all other parts will be restored from the original aircraft or rebuilt from scratch.
