You probably see our logo all the time, but have you taken a close look at it? It’s not any of the aircraft we have in production, and it isn’t the Beaver either. It’s the DH98 Mosquito, “Mossie” to its friends.
Our History
On this day in 1940, the legendary “Wooden Wonder” soared for the first time! Built mostly from wood, the Mosquito became a WWII icon for its speed, versatility, and ingenuity.
The Mosquito’s legacy reached across the Atlantic, as De Havilland Canada produced over 1,000 of these aircraft in Toronto, contributing to the Allied war effort and solidifying Canada’s reputation as a key player in aviation manufacturing.
Today, the Mosquito remains a symbol of innovation and determination, reminding us of the extraordinary feats achieved under extraordinary circumstances.
Let’s honor the engineers, pilots, and visionaries who brought this beauty to life. Here’s to a masterpiece of aviation history!
