The De Havilland Mosquito is a British, twin-engine, multi-role aircraft with a mixed structure, mainly wooden, with a classic tail. The flight of the prototype took place on November 25, 1940, and the first machines entered the line units in July 1941. The machine was largely made of wooden elements glued with casein glues, and later with synthetic ones. Thanks to this, the machine was very light and showed great aerodynamic properties. Interestingly, it also turned out to be quite resistant to anti-aircraft fire. For this reason, the Mosquito quickly earned the nickname "wooden miracles". Two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines of different variants with power from 1460KM to 1680KM were used as the drive. During the war, a dozen or so versions of this very successful plane were created. The most important of them are, among others Mosquito PR.IX (reconnaissance version), B.IV series I and II (bomb version), F.II (hunting version), NF.II (night fighter with AI.IV radar), one of the most widely produced - FB.VI (fighter-bomber version). Mosquito planes performed numerous functions in the RAF, but the fighter-bomber and bomber versions were the most famous, which made daring raids on German public facilities (e.g. police or Gestapo headquarters) in occupied Europe, often with surgical precision. Technical data (Mosquito F. Mk.II): length: 13.57m, wingspan: 16.52m, height: 5.3m, maximum speed: 610km / h, climb speed: 8.8m / s, maximum range: 1500km , maximum ceiling 8,800m, armament: fixed - 4 7.7mm machine guns and 4 20mm Hispano Mk II cannons.
The Light Utility Car, popularly known as the Tilly, was a light British military transport car from the Second World War. Tilly was a car that was created from a combination of two basic elements. The body of this car was constructed by Austin and was created as a result of a combination of a two-person passenger compartment with - most often - a cargo space covered with a tarpaulin. This body, in turn, was built on various types of car chassis. However, these were always the chassis of passenger cars, already produced on a relatively large scale, e.g. Austin 10 GRQ, Hillman Minx or Standard Flying 14. Placing Tilly on a given chassis also meant giving a different name, e.g. Austin 8 HP, Austin 10 HP or Morris 10 HP. Cars of this type, although cheap and simple to build, turned out to be very useful and remained in service in the 1950s. They were also used by the armed forces of Denmark and Portugal.
