| Found in | Wikipedia, 3 March 2010: under de Havilland Vampire (the de Havilland DH.100 Vampire was a British jet-engine fighter; it was commissioned by the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, and was the second jet fighter to enter service with the RAF, after the pioneering Gloster Meteor; although it arrived too late to see combat during the war, it served with front line RAF squadrons until 1955, and continued in use as a trainer until 1966; almost 3,300 Vampires were built, a quarter of them under licence in other countries; the Vampire design was also developed into the de Havilland Venom fighter-bomber as well as naval Sea Vampire variants) |
