Successful aircraft manufacturer de Havilland began design
development of the Vampire in 1941, to assess the feasibility of
jet propulsion as a means of powering fighter aircraft. Rolling off
the production line too late to see action in World War Two, this
jet fighter was a popular aircraft in operational squadrons. Easy
to fly, maintain and build, unprecedented numbers of orders
followed. The Vampire quickly found its niche as a ground-attack
aircraft and remained at the forefront of RAF service until the
early 1950s when it assumed an advanced training role. Alongside
its development, the Sea Vampire, Venom and Sea Venom adopted
specific roles for the armed services, the latter two achieving a
new company designation. Many were still in service decades after
they were manufactured. This new book edition of Aeroplane Icons:
Vampire charts the development of de Havilland's Vampire through
the design and development stages of its lifespan.
