EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the De Havilland DH103 Hornet F I, a versatile and innovative fighter aircraft that first took to the skies in July 1944. As the Second World War was drawing to a close, the Hornet was still in the development phase, making this a rare and historically significant moment in aviation history. The De Havilland DH103 Hornet was a British single-engine, two-seat fighter designed and manufactured by De Havilland Aircraft Company. Its distinctive appearance, with its elliptical wings and streamlined fuselage, set it apart from other aircraft of the era. The Hornet was a versatile machine, capable of performing various roles, including fighter, trainer, and target tug. Despite not seeing combat during the war, the Hornet went on to enjoy a successful post-war career, serving with several air forces around the world. Its advanced design and impressive performance made it a popular choice for both military and civilian pilots. This photograph captures the Hornet F I in its early stages, a testament to the groundbreaking work being done in the field of aviation technology during the Second World War. The image serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the engineers, designers, and pilots who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the skies.
