Nice video 
I've always liked the "bent wing bird" - or as the Japanese troops called it "whistling death."
The prop was so big they had to bend the wings to keep it from hitting the ground.

Was one of my favourite warbirds too.
Watching that video you wonder if those pilots even noticed the prop rotation after flying for a few hours, I think for myself looking through that all the time would put me off.
When I was flying the only time I noticed the prop was when it stopped spinning.
These "wooden wonders" are amazing planes. I've only ever seen one in a museum and in the movies.
I have a 1964 DVD called 633 Squadron starring Cliff Robertson and all the planes are Mosquito's.
It's about attacking Nazi targets in Norway. Lots of great flying scenes.

Read the books and saw that movie too, Rocky
The sound of those Merlin engines give me shivers down my back
What a thrill it must be to fly one of those - or even fly in one of those!
Thanks for posting that!

A very underrated plane me thinks.
