Historical Description of the de Havilland DH-88 Comet

The de Havilland DH-88 Comet is a twin-engine light racing aircraft, designed and built by the famous British de Havilland company specifically for the prestigious MacRobertson Air Race held on the London–Melbourne route in 1934. Three examples of the Comet (including the famous G-ACSS "Grosvenor House") dominated this race, taking first and third places and setting new long-distance speed records. The DH-88 design featured a sleek silhouette with a large wingspan and cutting-edge aerodynamic solutions for its time. After its racing career, the Comet was also used for pioneering long-distance flights and experimental testing.
