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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eConnor, Sara Witter:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Sara Connor is a longtime board member and president of the Forest History Association of Wisconsin, and has also served on the Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Forestry Hall of Fame and Camp 5 Museum Foundation.
