Comet! The World's First Jet Airliner by aviation historian GrahamM.Simons is the definitive modern history of the deHavilland Comet, the world's first commercial jet. This meticulously researched volume spans aviation's dramatic post-war leap into jet-powered travel, tracing the airplane's conception, development, breakthroughs, disasters, and technical evolution.

Simons draws extensively from enquiry and salvage reportsmany previously unpublishedand complements this with exclusive interviews, including insights from Comet test pilot John Cunningham and production manager Harry Povey. His narrative brings clarity to the Comet's early triumphs, the tragic structural failures of 1954, and the rigorous redesign that followed. He also explores the aircraft's military legacy, notably the Nimrod, through interviews with its final commander.
