During the two World Wars, Wycombe’s furniture factories supported the war effort by producing aircraft parts – including parts for the ‘wooden wonder’, the deHavilland Mosquito. Learn more about High Wycombe’s contribution to aviation in this talk with George Bell.

The talk will cover Sir Geoffrey De Havilland as an aviation pioneer, his high-speed bomber concept, aircraft construction and production in Wycombe, the successes and troubles of the Mosquito, and highlights of its service history.
