De HAVILLAND DH106 COMET

$9.95

Titles: De Havilland DH106 Comet No 1 and No 2

The De Havilland Comet is famous as the first jet airliner, and first flew in 1949, building on Britain’s lead in jet engine technology. Unfortunately the aircraft suffered a well known series of in-flight break-ups eventually traced after one of the most exhaustive engineering investigations ever to metal fatigue emanating from the edges of square windows.

The entire fleet was grounded during the investigation and subsequent modifications and this enabled US manufacturers to catch up on the British lead. This tragedy meant fewer than 90 Comets ever reached commercial service compared to hundreds of the US rivals.

We offer two titles for the beautiful aircraft, covering both early and late models. Each title is US$9.95.
