When Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, they faced a nightmare: they needed 20,000 aircraft but had almost no aluminium. Germany controlled Europe's metal supply. The math was impossible—until a furniture maker had a radical idea. Geoffrey de Havilland built bombers from wood in piano factories and furniture workshops, recruiting cabinet makers and dressmakers who'd never seen an aircraft. The result? The legendary Mosquito—faster than German fighters, built by craftsmen with glue and plywood, and one of WWII's most successful aircraft. Britain turned their greatest weakness into their secret weapon, proving that innovation beats resources when survival is on the line.
