Why do you say that? British aluminum production was rather small.
In fact there was a "Metal Mosquito" namely Vickers Type 432.
Juha
IIRC I remember reading that a Mossie built conventionally would have been about 10% lighter.
Most sources suggest that an all-metal Mosquito would have been heavier.
Re more Mosquitos. The existing carpentry industry was pretty well at capacity with Horsas, Hamilcars, Albermarles, Master, Martinet and Mosquitos.Perhaps the Albermarle and Master/Martinet capacity could have been diverted to Mosquito production but the biggest increase possible in Mosquito bombers would have been to divert all Mosquito production to bombers. No fighters. Let Beaufighters do the nightfighting etc. Squeeze as hard as you like but I doubt if you could end up with more than 50% more Mosquito bombers so what will you use if you choose not to mass bomb at night with heavy bombers?
What type of airframe construction the Mosquito had?
Then why weren't there more wooden aircraft in WW2?
Just wondering.
