The Plane That Saved Britain

Former Royal Marines Commando and qualified pilot Arthur Williams presents this love letter to the World War II aeroplane he believes history has unjustly forgotten. While the names Spitfire, Lancaster and Hurricane have passed into legend, the De Havilland Mosquito languishes in relative obscurity. However, for Arthur, the `Wooden Wonder' is the plane that saved Britain.
