[PAR] [TLE] Marion Wilberforce [SEP] Marion Wilberforce (22 July 1902 – 17 December 1995) was a Scottish aviator and one of the first eight members of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA).  She flew many planes including Spitfires, Hurricanes, Lancaster Bombers, Wellington Bombers and Mosquitos.  She rose to become deputy commander of the No. 5 Ferry Pool at Hatfield, and later became commander of the No. 12 Ferry Pool at Cotsford, one of only two women pool commanders in the whole ATA. [PAR] [TLE] De Havilland Mosquito [SEP] The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was a British twin-engine shoulder-winged multi-role combat aircraft.  The crew of two, pilot and navigator, sat side by side.  It served during and after the Second World War.  It was one of few operational front-line aircraft of the era constructed almost entirely of wood and was nicknamed "The Wooden Wonder".  The Mosquito was also known affectionately as the "Mossie" to its crews.  Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, the Mosquito was adapted to roles including low to medium-altitude daytime tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike aircraft, and fast photo-reconnaissance aircraft.  It was also used by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) as a fast transport to carry small high-value cargoes to, and from, neutral countries, through enemy-controlled airspace.  A single passenger could ride in the aircraft's bomb bay when it was adapted for the purpose.
