Founded on 25th September, 1920, the de Havilland aircraft company went on to have a huge influence on the development of aviation. During the 1920s and 1930s the famous Moth series were produced, including the Tiger Moth which trained generations of pilots throughout the world. In World War II, de Havilland produced the versatile Mosquito and subsequently the Vampire jet fighter. The world's first jet airliner, the Comet, was developed in the 1940s. Merging with Hawker Siddeley in 1960 the spirit of de Havilland still remains at the Civil Aircraft Division of British Aerospace. This book is photographic tribute to seventy years of innovative aircraft production. The majority of the photographs have been shot especially for the book, mainly air to air, in all parts of the world.
