Wisconsin's Flying Trees in World War Ii: a Victory for American Forest Products and Allied Aviation
Sara Witter Connor
Wisconsin's trees heard "Timber!" during World War II, as the forest products industry of the Badger State played a key role in the Allied aerial campaign. It was Wisconsin that provided the material for the De Havilland Mosquito, known as the "Timber Terror," while the CG-4A battle-ready gliders, cloaked in stealthy silence, carried the 82nd and 101st Airborne into fierce fighting throughout Europe and the Pacific. Sara Witter Connor follows a forgotten thread of the American war effort, celebrating the factory workers, lumberjacks, pilots and innovative thinkers of the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory who helped win a world war with paper, wood and glue.
