A cool glider from a long time ago

What would it take to build my own glider that would be safe enough to actually fly? Could it be made of plywood?
High-strength plywood, known as aircraft plywood, is made from mahogany and/or birch, and uses adhesives with increased resistance to heat and humidity. It was used for several World War II fighter aircraft, including the British-built Mosquito bomber.
