Family Herlik were certainly from Mrakov town in Domazlice area in southwest Bohemia. This family lives still there. Tony. Thank you for this information Tony. I received information from the Czech Republic about baptizm records for George Herlik's children. It appears they were living in Chotimer, Bohemia in the 1840s & 1850s. Do you know if this town is near Mrakov? Thanks, Michele Hi Michele. Some of clans from Mrakov moved to Chotimer around 1800. There lived Herliks in both towns there. Both towns are in same area in distance about 15 km. All the best. Tony. Correspondence to Michelle (now deceased) to person in the Czech Republic.	HERLIK, Georg (I1152)

526	Emil and Annie Ginzl moved from the Trostell estate in 1942 probably as a result of the sale of the property to Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company. The company purchased the property to harvest the land's yellow birch trees for use in building DeHavilland aircraft. DEHAVILLAND’S MOSQUITO The women in the plywood plants knew that the plywood was “going for an airplane.” It was being used in American gliders, but the plywood was also being produced for the Dehavilland Mosquito. The British inventor, Sir Geoffrey Dehavilland, was, like Howard Hughes, criticized soundly for his efforts to build a wooden airplane. As Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose was dubbed “The Lumberyard” by detractors, he could also have learned from Dehavilland’s experience with the bureaucracy. DeHavilland had started building airplanes as a young man in 1908. By WWI, Dehavilland was an expert in aviation. Sir Geoffrey Dehavilland (knighted during WWII) had built his Comet in 1934, which won the 11,000 mile MacRobertson Air Race from London to Melbourne with a record time of seventeen hours. His Comet would be re-designed to become the Mosquito. Affectionately known as the “Mossie,” it would be the fastest airplane of WWII with a top speed of 450 mph. Pilots were known to polish their “Wooden Wonder” to coax even a few more knots from her. The “Timber Terror” would carry bomb loads of up to 10,000 pounds. The Air Ministry was convinced that metal airplanes were the only viable option but at the beginning of WWII, aluminum for aircraft was in short supply. The Air Ministry would turn to Dehavilland, and to Dehavilland’s staunch ally, Sir Wilfred Freeman, for support. Dehavilland had a Mosquitp prototype ready for demonstration at Hatfield, where on November 25th, 1940 it wowed the viewers with its capabilities. No airplane had been as fast, or could fly single-engine, or had so quick a turning radius, or could out run the enemy. Britain did not have the metal for airplanes, but it did have cabinet and woodworkers. DeHavilland received the first contract for 150 Mosquito on December 30, 1940, and they built the Mosquitoes with imported Wisconsin plywood. The yellow birch came from Wisconsin forests, particularly Vilas and Price Counties. In Vilas County, Roddis had purchased the Trostel Estate from Albert Trostel and Sons Company on May 7, 1941. The veneer and plywood would be sent to England in crates built by the Phillips Flooring and Veneer Company in Phillips. Eventually, 7,781 “Wooden Wonders” were built. Northern Hardwood Veneers, Inc. of Butternut provided 35% of the plywood used to build the ‘Mosquito’ Bomber. It is recorded that one thousand carloads of Butternut veneer ‘winged its way over Europe’-- as the ‘Mosquito’ Bomber. Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company would provide the other 60% for the “Timber Terror,” Roddis also supplied veneer and plywood to DeHavilland at 888 Dupont Street, Toronto.	GINZL, Emil John (I4)

Ed Herlik
This is the same question Jitka Herlik has asked from Praha (Prague, Czech Republic). Have you talked to her?

Tonicek
Hi Michele.
Family Herlik were certainly from Mrakov town in Domazlice area in southwest Bohemia. This family lives still there.
Tony.

Thank you for this information Tony. I received information from the Czech Republic about baptizm records for George Herlik's children. It appears they were living in Chotimer, Bohemia in the 1840s & 1850s. Do you know if this town is near Mrakov?
Thanks,
Michele

Hi Michele. Some of clans from Mrakov moved to Chotimer around 1800. There lived Herliks in both towns there. Both towns are in same area in distance about 15 km.
All the best. Tony.

Emil and Annie Ginzl moved from the Trostell estate in 1942 probably as a result of the sale of the property to Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company. The company purchased the property to harvest the land's yellow birch trees for use in building DeHavilland aircraft.

DEHAVILLAND’S MOSQUITO

The women in the plywood plants knew that the plywood was “going for an airplane.” It was being used in American gliders, but the plywood was also being produced for the Dehavilland Mosquito. The British inventor, Sir Geoffrey Dehavilland, was, like Howard Hughes, criticized soundly for his efforts to build a wooden airplane. As Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose was dubbed “The Lumberyard” by detractors, he could also have learned from Dehavilland’s experience with the bureaucracy. DeHavilland had started building airplanes as a young man in 1908.

By WWI, Dehavilland was an expert in aviation. Sir Geoffrey Dehavilland (knighted during WWII) had built his Comet in 1934, which won the 11,000 mile MacRobertson Air Race from London to Melbourne with a record time of seventeen hours. His Comet would be re-designed to become the Mosquito.

Affectionately known as the “Mossie,” it would be the fastest airplane of WWII with a top speed of 450 mph. Pilots were known to polish their “Wooden Wonder” to coax even a few more knots from her. The “Timber Terror” would carry bomb loads of up to 10,000 pounds.

The Air Ministry was convinced that metal airplanes were the only viable option but at the beginning of WWII, aluminum for aircraft was in short supply. The Air Ministry would turn to Dehavilland, and to Dehavilland’s staunch ally, Sir Wilfred Freeman, for support. Dehavilland had a Mosquitp prototype ready for demonstration at Hatfield, where on November 25th, 1940 it wowed the viewers with its capabilities. No airplane had been as fast, or could fly single-engine, or had so quick a turning radius, or could out run the enemy.

Britain did not have the metal for airplanes, but it did have cabinet and woodworkers. DeHavilland received the first contract for 150 Mosquito on December 30, 1940, and they built the Mosquitoes with imported Wisconsin plywood. The yellow birch came from Wisconsin forests, particularly Vilas and Price Counties. In Vilas County, Roddis had purchased the Trostel Estate from Albert Trostel and Sons Company on May 7, 1941. The veneer and plywood would be sent to England in crates built by the Phillips Flooring and Veneer Company in Phillips. Eventually, 7,781 “Wooden Wonders” were built.

Northern Hardwood Veneers, Inc. of Butternut provided 35% of the plywood used to build the ‘Mosquito’ Bomber. It is recorded that one thousand carloads of Butternut veneer ‘winged its way over Europe’-- as the ‘Mosquito’ Bomber. Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company would provide the other 60% for the “Timber Terror,” Roddis also supplied veneer and plywood to DeHavilland at 888 Dupont Street, Toronto.
