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.
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 Goblin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Goblin, originally the Halford H-1, was an early turbojet engine designed by Frank Halford and built by de Havilland.
It was the primary engine of the de Havilland Vampire, and was to have been the engine for the F-80 Shooting Star (as the Allis-Chalmers J36) before that design switched engines due to production delays.
The Goblin was later expanded into the larger de Havilland Ghost, with the model numbers continuing from the last marks of the Goblin.

It was unique aeroplane for de Havilland, not only in it's use of jet power in a passenger aircraft, but also because it was the first time an all metal stressed skin type of construction had been built by the company.
A de Havilland innovation - subsequently to become standard practice on all passenger turbojets - was to use compressed air taken directly off the engine's compressors for cabin pressurization but for a while this practice caused problems with engine over-heating.
