Comet

The De Havilland Comet was one of the first pre-war fighters of World War II. The concept was first introduced in 1935 and entered production in 1937. The Comet was in service from 1937 to 1941 ever since its successor, the De Havilland Curtiss was made to replace the Comet. The Comet relied on mostly speed than armament, which was its fatal flaw. Pilots couldn't handle the G-tolerance while flying the plane and lost control. It was also very weak. The Comet had only 2 7.7mm MGs mounted on the nose. The Comet was used in night-fighting as well as intercepting. Night-fighting was a very challenging thing to do with the Comet since the Comet was painted white and was loud enough for enemies to be aware of its presence. This was later changed when De Havilland reduced its engine, and made a seperate variant of the Comet for night-fighting named the "De Havilland Comet Mk Ia NF".
