: Actually, the Spruce Goose is not made of spruce, but much heavier birch ply.

I was going by what I remember from my local museum, The Washington State History Museum. They have a display about warplanes made of spruce, complete with bullet holes. I thought they mentioned the Spruce Goose, I'll check next time I go there.
