The Discovery Channel has been running these shows featuring the top ten of various kinds of military hardware. I've seen the episodes for fighters, ships and bombers. Not being a war nerd or a history geek, most of the things presented are new to me.

One of the new (to me) things that was totally cool is the De Havilland Mosquito. It was made of wood, and "almost undetectable to radar". I think we have a new national advantage to replace the hated-by-all French resistance.

Great. So UK could have two anti-radar national advantages.

Gloster & Mosquito means their air force are invulnerable.

No, we could work the mosquito in to give British fighters an advantage over other fighters and ships, and skip the radar part.
