The only 'library' I had access to as a child in Malaysia. This cabinet lived at the back of our classroom in primary school. It was usually kept locked by the teacher and opened up for our enjoyment on rare occasions.
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. It also served with many air forces worldwide, and set several aviation firsts and records.
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.
These scans are of the "General Statement" from 1955, a very high quality document with comprehensive information and excellent photographs of the Vampire, after it had been designated a training aircraft.
