Fun to read about this. My grandfather worked for Boeing and was the engineer in charge of manufacturing Mosquito tailplanes in Vancouver BC. He developed a system of using steam bladders to add pressure and heat to the glued pieces while it was curing which cut down their manufacturing time.
I've got some Mossie blueprints in my files, I really should get them framed one of these days. They're works of art!
