How Britain’s Vampire jet defied logic and made aviation history
Born in 1943 as the DH.100 “Spider Crab,” transformed into the sleek Vampire, this British jet smashed expectations. It was the first solo‑engine fighter to operate from aircraft carriers, the first to cross the Atlantic as a jet, and earned its name when someone noticed its bat‑like silhouette in flight. Cold War classics began here.
