By 1943 the Germans desperate to counter, the RAF's superfast wooden fighter-bomber, the de Havilland Mosquito, began to build the Focke Wulf Ta154. It was even known as the Moskito!
They soon discovered that holding its wooden structure together wasn't as easy as they thought, and several broke up in flight. The glue they needed to hold their airframes together was a secret formula only manufactured in Britain.
So the Germans came up with a plan to steal some from the source…only to come up against a bunch of plucky Brits determined to stop them - or come to a very sticky end!
