The Hornet was was a piston engine fighter that further exploited the wooden construction techniques pioneered by de Havilland's earlier Mosquito. The plane came in late during WWII and so did most of it's service after the war with the Royal Air Force, until it was retired in 1955. This was known as the fastest wooden aircraft built (I stand corrected by PlanesOfOld, the Heinkel He 162 salamander was made mostly of wood and was much faster, however, it used a jet engine) and as the second fastest operational twin-prop driven aircraft, being able to reach about 472 mph in production aircraft(almost the same as mine). To take off in this, press 1 to detach from the gates, then throttle to 100% before bringing the VTOL slider down to the 1/4 mark.
