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".

Yeah, the history if some of the designs they had for future planes would
have made Wernher von Braun proud. One Messerschmitt design was captured by
the Americans and became the F-86 Saberjet used a lot in Korea. I'm not
sure about the designer but there was also a design (Focke-Wulf?) captured
by the Russians that became the MiG -8(?) that fought the F-86s. So, the
Luftwaffe kept on flying!!
