	De Havilland DH.88 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		De Havillands managed to meet their challenging schedule and testing of the DH.88 began six weeks before the start date of the race.
		In 1935, de Havilland suggested a high-speed bomber version of the DH.88 to the RAF, but the suggestion was rejected.
		(De Havilland later developed the de Havilland Mosquito along similar lines as the DH.88 for the high-speed bomber role.)

		De Havillands managed to meet their challenging schedule and testing of the DH.88 began six weeks before the start date of the race.
		The de Havilland DH.88 Comet was an aircraft designed for one very specific purpose - to win the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race for Britain.
		The de Havilland company stepped into the breach by offering to produce a limited run of 200 mph (320 km/h) racers if three were ordered by February, 1934.

	De Havilland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		De Havilland continued to produce high-performance aircraft including the high-speed twin-piston-engine DH.88 Comet mailplane, one of which became famous in its red livery as the winner of the MacRobertson Air Race from England to Australia.
		De Havilland Canada was formed in 1928 to build Moth aircraft for the training of Canadian airmen and continued after the war to build its own designs suited to the harsh Canadian operating environment.
		De Havilland (Canada) was eventually incorporated into the Bombardier group of companies and the Dash Eight remains in production with a particular emphasis being placed on its quiet operation in comparison to other aircraft of a similar size.

		In 1934, De Havilland produced the DH.88 Comet (not to be confused with the later Comet jet airliner), a twin-engine hand-made low wing monoplane racer that set a number of speed and distance records.
		A PR VIII was the first Mosquito to photograph Berlin on March 8, 1943 and on June 3 of that year, another scored one of the biggest reconnaissance scoops of the war when it overflew the German research facility at Peenemünde and brought back photos of the A-4, also known as the V-2, ballistic missile.
		Mosquitoes were also active in mining German harbors and some were equipped with rotating “Highball” bombs, a smaller round version of the bombs used on the dam-buster raids, for attacks on the German battleship Tirpitz, sister-ship to the Bismarck.

		For the 1930s racing aircraft see de Havilland DH.88
		The design was similar to other airliners except that four of the new, albeit underpowered, de Havilland Ghost 50 turbojets were mounted within the wings, in pairs close to the fuselage.
		These improvements were possible largely due to the use of Rolls-Royce Avon engines with over twice the thrust of the Comet 1's de Havilland Ghosts.

	Science Fair Projects - Jetliner
		The DH106 Comet should not be confused with the earlier piston-engined De Havilland DH.88 racer also known as the Comet.
		The first jet airliner was the de Havilland Comet, which first flew in 1949 and entered service in 1952.
		For business jets the rear-engined configuration is universal as on small aircraft the wing is too close to the ground to accommodate underslung engines.

		The de Havilland Comet was put into service in 1952 as the eagerly-anticipated first commercial jet airliner, twice as fast as previous alternatives and a source of British national pride.
		Less well known, but equally disastrous, was the explosion of the Sea Vixen prototype during the 1952 Farnborough Air Show, which also killed members of the public.

		De Havilland continued to produce high performance aircraft including the high speed twin piston engine DH.88 Comet mailplane, one of which became famous in its red livery as the winner of the MacRobertson Air Race from England to Australia.
		The high performance designs and wooden construction methods culminated in perhaps the most famous De Havilland aircraft- the Mosquito, constructed primarily of wood because of the shortage of aluminium during the war.
		The Moth line of aircraft continued with the more refined (and enclosed) Hornet Moth and Moth Minor, the later being a low wing monoplane constructed of wood.

	Jim Mollison - InformationBlast
		Their de Havilland DH-88 Comet Black Magic led the competitors off the line and was leading at Baghdad, but they were forced to retire at Allahabad with a broken oil line.
		In October 1934 the Mollisons took part together in MacRobertson Air Race, attempting to recreate Jim's 1931 record flight in the reverse direction.
		During one of his flights, he was matched with the equally famous pilot Amy Johnson, whom he proposed to only 8 hours after meeting her, and while still in the air.

	Prints
		The "DH 88 Comet", an open edition print, 22" x 31" overall, from the 1980s by David Weston portrays the "Grosvenor House", G-ACSS, a twin-engine de Havilland that won the 1934 MacPherson Robertson sponsored England to Australia air race.
		The next year he purchased the Armstrong Siddeley interests and established the Hawker Siddeley Group, and in 1936 started work on a monoplane fighter, which later became the famous "Hurricane," which was a great factor in winning the Battle of Britain.
		Since that time, many successful jet aircraft and engines have been developed by the Hawker Siddeley Group, notably the "Hunter", "Sea Hawk", "Javelin," the Canadian "CF-100," and the giant four-jet "Vulcan" Bomber, and, in the jet engine field, the "Sapphire," the Canadian "Orenda," the "Viper," the "Double Mamba" and others.

	MacRobertson Air Race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The initial field of over 60 had by then been whittled down to 20, including the 3 purpose-built de Havilland DH.88 Comet racers, two of the new generation of American all-metal passenger transports, and a mixture of earlier racers, light transports and old bombers.
		The idea of the race was devised by the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, and a prize fund of $75,000 was put up by Sir Macpherson Robertson, a wealthy Australian confectionery manufacturer, on the conditions that the race be named after his MacRobertson confectionery company, and that it be organised to be as safe as possible.
		The MacRobertson Trophy Air Race took place October, 1934 as part of the celebrations of the centenary of the Australian state of Victoria (Australia).
