Can you show me please source where this is written?

Modern aircraft construction is making increasing use of composites, which have more in common with wood in terms of structural properties than they do with metals - wood is a 'natural composite', the result of millions of years of natural selection.

You was right about present time composite materials. But I was speaking about WW2 aircrafts and materials. Please read my post #774. I was only doesn't know is exist equal book in English.
