Just an aside, but the mention of the Mosquito (aeroplane, that is), in terms of the relationship between wood and metal, made me think of my father.

He was an untrained bucksaw carpenter, but was employed during WWII to build Mosquitos here in Canada. He could build almost anything out of lumber - he once build our house using the plans he kept in his head - and I guess that's what was needed when putting together a plywood airplane.

So, never underestimate what can be done with a few sticks of wood.

Right, Ed?
