As the war continued Andrew became involved in crash inspection of any aircraft having timber construction. Apart from the revised structure the Hornets wings were a synthesis of aerodynamic knowledge that had been gathered since the Mosquitos design process being much thinner in cross section with de Havilland designers adopting a laminar flow profile similar to the P-51 Mustang and Hawker Tempest.

The de Havilland DH98 Mosquito is a twin-engined two-seat multi-role combat aircraft produced by the British manufacturer de Havilland Aircraft CompanyThe Mosquito was operated in several roles like fast bomber fighter bomber fighter night fighter reconnaissance anti-submarine warfare trainer and target tug. It further exploited the wooden construction techniques that had been pioneered by the de Havilland Mosquito.

The Mosquito was one of the few operational front-line aircraft of the World War II era to be constructed almost entirely of wood and as such was nicknamed The Wooden Wonder3 nb 1 The Mosquito was also known affectionately as the Mossie. So there were cases of Mosquito structural failures caused by simple wood rot some among de Havilland of Canada built Aeroplanes which were sometimes found to suffer from poorer workmanship and lower quality-control standards. The Micarta sheet used in the Mosquitos construction was bonded to the inner plywood fuselage during manufacture.

This also enabled him to keep track of German developments. Development of the Hornet had started during the Second World War as a private venture. The de Havilland DH98 Mosquito was a British multi-role combat aircraft with a two-man crew that served during the Second World War and the postwar era.

Like the Comet and Albatross wings de Havilland built Mosquito wings out of shaped pieces of wood and plywood cemented together with Casein glue. De Havilland DH-98 BTT Mk. De Havilland Canada Mosquito BMkXXV.
