As I recall, plywood came first, then particle board, then OSB, etc. Double checking on Wiki, particleboard was a WWII replacement for plywood. Even if it was, the resins would not have been to the developmental point to provide the needed strength, so it should be plywood- which was around.

Looking at figures for strength/density Spruce is slightly better than Al-alloy. In buckling its over twice as efficient. Generic "wood" won't be quite as good but its in the right ballpark.

3. The engine I'm using is an Inline-6 of 140mm bore x 150mm stroke which gives a displacement of around 14L. With a side mounted supercharger it should be around 0.40 - 0.50m across. If you want a big explanation of this I'll send it to you as I pmed one to Hood tother day. I don't think that the weight is far off.
