Description Technical Specs The Author
 
 
The first British swept-wing jet. The first British tailless jet. The first
British jet through the sound barrier. The de Havilland DH108 was at the
forefront of research into the unknown in the early years of transonic
flight and symbolised the danger, excitement and sense of national pride
in an aviation industry reaching outwards after the deprivations of war.
It was a courageous design flown by courageous men, three of whom paid with
their lives. This is the illustrated story of that aircraft and the men who flew it into
new territories of speed, of the risks taken and the price paid in the pioneering
age of high speed flight.
