The Comet is a classic of the Golden Age of long distance air racing in the 1930's. The aircraft is well detailed elsewhere, but briefly the creation of the Comet was a response by de Havilland to the prospect of a non-British aircraft winning the 1934 England-Australia air race.xe dh 88 màu xanh
De Havilland designed and built the DH88 Comet Racer in nine months as a response to a chance in winning an air race proposed by Sir MacPherson Robertson in October of 1934. The winner would get £10,000 in prize money if they were the first to fly from England to Australia.
