de Havilland DH 106 Comet is the world's first commercial jet airliner designed for short and medium haul flights.

Although the CoLmet was not the first passenger jet aircraft (the first is the experimental jet version of Vickers VC.1, built in a single copy), nevertheless, this model is rightfully considered the first real airliner, which from the very beginning it was designed and designed exactly like that It was built in series.

In 1955, after all the troubles that happened with the Comets of the early episodes, the entire program was on the verge of collapse.

However, in the second half of 1955, BOAC decided to place an order for 19 completely redesigned and improved Comet 4 for use in the transatlantic, African and eastern directions.

This decision seemed to many people all the more strange because, despite all the improvements, Comet 4 did not become a truly “transatlantic” liner and could not compete on equal terms with the Boeings 707 and Douglas DS-8, which had already been ordered by then Pan American.
