De Havilland's Mosquito was perhaps the most versatile plane of World War 
II, instrumental in defending Britain against Nazi bombers and buzz bombs. 
Soon, some of its innovations--including a fuselage split down the center for 
ease of manufacture--may be revived for Farnborough-Aircraft.com's F1 air 
taxi.
