Anybody remember the name of a wood airframe German fighter airplane
developed around 1943-44 that had two engines?

I can find it tonight. AFAIR, it was colloquially known as "mosquito"
(or the German equivalent) because it was a deliberate attempt to copy
the De Havilland.

the Germans couldn't
put it into production because the vibration shook the wood joints apart
unless they used a special glue.

Tegofilm. They did make them without it, using an alternative glue,
but they broke up in flight.

Towards the end, there were several German aircraft with wooden
fuselages, if not wooden wings too. Natter and Salamander are some of
the more famous of the "desperation weapons".
